Consumer Description

VEHICLE CONSUMES 1 QUART OF MOTOR OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. IT CAUSES CARBON BUILDUP IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBERS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE CARBON CLEANED PERIODICALLY. VEHICLE HAS 24000 MILES AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. MANUFACTURER SAYS THIS TYPE OF CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL AND DOES NOT WANT TO ANYTHING. SERVICE REP STATED THAT THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH ALL MODELS WITH THIS V8. *LA
