Consumer Description

NISSAN ALTIMA EQUIPPED WITH THE 2.5S ENGINE. PURCHASE DATE: FEB 28, 2006. SOON AFTER PURCHASE I MADE A TRIP TO BEAUFORT, SC. ON RETURN HOME I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND FOUND IT ((OIL) TO BE BLACK, SMELLING BURNT, AND CONSIDERABLY BELOW THE ADD LEVEL. AT THIS POINT, 1676 MILES, I CHANGED THE OIL. CHECKED OIL LEVEL ONCE MORE AT 3165 MILES AND FOUND THE OIL DOWN 1/2 QUART. DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO VERIFIED THE OIL LEVEL. I ADDED THE OIL OF MY CHOICE. RECHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AGAIN AT 3927 AND FOUND IT TO BE DIRTY AND DOWN 1/2 QUART. CHANGED OIL ONCE MORE. IN FAIRNESS TO THE OWNERS, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THEY BE REIMBURSED THE FULL PURCHASE PRICE PLUS INCIDENTAL EXPENSES. *JB
