Consumer Description

MY 2006 CADILLAC CTS WITH A 3.6L V6 STARTED BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY AT ABOUT 25,000 MILES. IT NOW HAS ABOUT 31,000 MILES AND BURNS A QUART EVERY 800 MILES. I DRIVE ABOUT 6500 MILES PER YEAR, MOSTLY IN SHORT DISTANCE CITY DRIVING. THE CAR STILL DRIVES WELL AND IT STILL PASSES THE TEXAS VEHICLE INSPECTION WHICH INCLUDES EMISSIONS TESTING. THE OIL GETS BLACK QUICKLY AFTER A CHANGE. THIS OIL CONSUMPTION IS EXCESSIVE FOR SUCH A LOW MILEAGE CAR. *TR
