My understanding is that the blue smoke as it relates to the turbo is a turbo seal failure (or implending failure). The oil cokes up around the seal and through some mechanism I don't completely understand that results in oil pushing past the seal and into the intake.
My guess/hope is that Auto-Rx cleaned and conditioned those seals. That would explain the grit. I change my own oil (used M1 0W-40 for the last 50k miles) and have never seen grit like that in the oil.
Whatever happened, there's no doubt that the blue smoke went away. It was there during the clean phase and through most of the rinse phase. It just went away about 3 days ago.
