This is my second oil change since i purchase the car. Firts time the oil warning light came on and i was just a few miles overdue on the oil change. it took 2 qts to top off. Blamed Jiffy Lube's 15 year old kid who did the oil change, since their computer called for 4 qts and the car takes i think 5 3/4 qts. i talked about this to the techs there they advised that they could not find any leaks anywhere looking under the car. Drove of happy thinking it had been a mistake.

Now i am really worried cause i am 1300 from the next oil change and it took 2 qts to top off....The Jiffy Lube guys topped off from free but the problem reamins...no leaks...no noticeable smoke from the exhaust..

Am i using the wrong kind of oil? i have been using synthetic blend 10w30

i cant think of why my engine is burning so much oil

i left a VM with the dealer i bouth the car from and have not heard back..I want to hear from you guys and learn as much as i can before i confronting the dealer.

thanks

 

mobil 1 0w 40 is the preferred oil.

seals are a problem with this engine. do you ever notice the smell of oil? pull one of the plugs and see if its covered in oil.

 

i got the same prob, i just add a qt like every 2k miles. i use regular 10w30.

 

Hahaha! Dude look at this post...

same prob here buddy mines got 49k and i bought it with 36k, always had that prob., burns about 1/2 a qt. every 1000 miles or so...dunno seems like alot of people have this prob. maybe its normal for this engine?

 

Mine has almost 50K hasn't had an oil change since 46K I just decided to do it over the weekend. Wasn't low.

 

I'd say check for an oil leak somewhere. Mine goes through about 1/3 of a quart between oil changes (4-5k) but I know its because of a valve cover leak. It is normal to lose oil between changes, the stuff evaporates and deteriates.
