| Description of the problem | Just after oil change, about one week later and having driven about 500 miles, oil was already one quart low. Since then it varies, but it burns more oil than any car i've ever owned. On average i need to add 2-4 quarts of oil between oil changes, which i perform every 3000 miles. My concern is that the oil consumption will progressively get worse. An obvious defect here somewhere. |
