Description of the problem | This vehicle consistently is 1 quart low on oil during each oil change, and there is no oil on the dipstick, despite the fact i get my oil changed prior to the recommended mileage, and less than every 3 months. I am using synthetic oil in the car. I have taken it to the original dealership, then an oil change shop twice, and then another dealership to look at the issue. The last dealership advised me they would do an oil consumption test and that i needed to check my oil dipstick frequently as the engine will shut off if the oil gets too low. No indicator light has ever displayed indicating an issue with the low oil or oil pressure. Many times the display shows i have 40% or more oil life left, despite the fact the car will be 1 quart low on oil, with no oil on the dipstick. The car has 26500 miles on it. The first time the issue was noted was when my car did shut off in drive, and i pulled it into an oil change place who advised me there was not enough oil in the engine. The car had just hit the mileage mark to be changed. This occurred in the fall of 2018. |
