Smoking under pressure then....

Well,got a call from the service mgr at the Honda dealer in Lumberton,NC and he said he contacted Honda Coorp and according to them it is normal to smoke and it was ready for me to pick up.No need to cause more fuss,I picked it up today and put it in my building,I'm very dissapointed in the service I got.I called Honda myself and they said I could take it to another dealer for a 2nd opinion but they may charge to diagnose it,I expressed to them I did not want to go on a long trail ride and have to check the oil every hour worrying that it might get to low and cause further damage I would be liable for due to improper maint.They were no help at all.I can tear it down and re-ring it,I've done plenty but it's the principle of having a warranty or what ever it's called.I thought about trying a good synthetic oil with a JASO MA rating but not sure if it will help.
Yeah, warranty is indeed the principle...
