Consumer Description

2006 CHEVROLET 2500 PICK-UP W/8.1 MOTOR. FIRST THERE WAS FAULTY HOSES CAUSING LOW OIL WARNING TO COME ON. NOW ENGINE IS LOW ON OIL WITH 1800 MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE. HAD TO PUT IN 1 1/4 QUART OF OIL. AFTER ENGINE BREAK IN. I SWITCHED TO MOBILE 1 5W30 SYNETHIC. A RECOMMENDED OIL TO USE BY CHEVROLET. DEALERS SERVICE DEPT. SAYS ITS SUPPOSE TO USE A QUART TO 2000MILES. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WITH THE MODERN TECHNOLOGY OF ENGINES. MAYBE YEARS AGO BUT NOT NOW. IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE SAID THIS ENGINE USES OIL. I GUARANTEE YOU NOT MANY WOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD. *TR
