Consumer Description

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. HE CAR CONSUMED APPROXIMATELY 1 QT OF OIL PER 1500 MI. TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THIS CAR HAD 8 MILES WHEN I LEASE IT, AND I DRIVE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THIS ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, FOR ME, IS TOTALLY UNREASONABLE. IF I WOULD NOT REFILL THE ENGINE OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGE INTERVALS (5000 MI), THE CAR WOULD CONSUME 74% OF ITS TOTAL ENGINE OIL, EASILY BURNING ITS ENGINE. AT THE DEALER SUGGESTION I ENDED UP TRADING THIS CAR YET FOR ANOTHER JETTA, ALSO CONSUMING OIL. *AK
