| Description of the problem | Hi nhtsa, i drive a 2015 hyundai sonata and followed all the recommended maintenance. I started to notice my oil level was below low after 2000 miles at 47000 on the vehicle. I thought it was not filled correctly and had my mechanic check it. Also, i told my hyundai dealership in laurel, md about the finding. I decided to top off my oil and closely monitor the status. On my next oil change, after 2000 miles my oil was low again. I add roughly 1. 5 qts to top it off. I brought my car until hyundai for an oil consumption test. The mechanic did not note how much oil he started as the baseline; however, the dip stick was over the full mark. After 3000 miles, my oil was at the low level. Per hyundai owner manual, i can drive 7500 miles between oil changes with non - extreme driving. Hyundai stated my car was not consuming oil, and this is normal. |
