| Description of the problem | Dealership performed oil consumption test. Added/topped up in excess of 1 litre oil every 1500 kilometres. Abbotsford hyundai and hyundai canada state this is normal oil consumption ! The vehicle cannot make it from one oil change (every 6000 kilometres) to next without the engine going dry! This seems unacceptable. Owned many different brands and have never had this issue! Also the engine is very load (sounds rattling). |
