Turbo failure?

I took my truck to the dealer today and had the oil changed. While I was paying for the oil change the service technician stated that he notice my aFe magnum force air intake system. He warned me that Dodge has recently put out a notice stating that they will not warranty failure of turbos if the owner has a re-chargeable air filer. The service technician said the turbo sucks in the oil on the filter, causing build-up, and ultimately glazing the turbo fins. He said because of the build up, the turbo will become unbalanced and fail. Does this guy know what he is talking about?
