| Description of the problem | The engine consumes extraordinary amounts of engine oil. At 72,000 miles, over 70% of engine oil is lost between an oil change range of 7500 miles. Radiator fluid levels drop as well. I believe the engine has internal problems that lead to engine oil and radiator fluid to enter the combustion chamber. This has been the case since very early days and was also reported to us by other service centers. It has gotten worse over time. |
