Description of the problem	With 1000 miles left on an oil change or so our car would randomly stall when you make certain turns. Occaisioanlly the oil light would pop one when it would stall. I checked the dipstick and you could not see anything on it. I added oil and took it into dealer. They are doing a consumption test to see how much we lose in 1000 miles. This vehicle only has 86,000 miles on it. We have no leaks and no visible smoke coming out of exhaust. This has me worried of similiar problems they had with one of there other 4cyl engines.
