I the work was done by a shop and the sticker is there. I did not get a chance to thoroughly look through it before it was taken to the mechanic. Did check the oil the day before and I don’t recall it looking off. Wasn’t looking for it but I feel I would have noticed murky oil.
The mechanic mentioned the coolant is leaking into the oil and is burning off out the exhaust. He says the signs were moisture in the tailpipe and white smoke.
