    Might need to confirm to be more exact on this, but that's a "late" MY2006, so it may be beyond the frame and head gasket update point.
    Those oil leaks wouldn't concern me, nor would the "low oil levels". Most shop monkeys will freak out when its 1/8" below the "F" mark on the dipstick. ALL engines burn *some* oil, so if its late in its cycle, its expected to be a bit low.

    As for the dirty filter... why would they even bother reporting that? Just to fill out space on the paper to make it look like they did something? Did they bother to mention if the oil filter might be coming up on its time too?
