| Description of the problem | I took my vehicle in for a recall. The technician found it was low on oil and filled it. Two weeks later i had my mechanic check and it was low 2 quarts of oil. I set my trip odometer. It has been 2000 miles and i have had to add 4 quarts of oil to my engine. I am told this excessive oil consumption is due to bad pistons that will need to be changed. I understand this to be a costly repair. |
