Consumer Description

VEHICLE BURNS LARGE QUANTITIES OF OIL, OFTEN IN SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. (WE WILL CHECK OIL, IT'S FINE, AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER WE'VE BURNED TWO QUARTS.) THIS REQUIRES US TO PULL OVER RAPIDLY AND FIND NEW OIL TO PREVENT ENGINE FAILURE, MAKING IT A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. WE'VE BURNED 1 TO 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1,000 TO 1,500 MILES PRETTY CONSISTENTLY SINCE MARCH, WHEN WE FIRST DISCOVERED WE WERE DOWN 3 QUARTS. *TR
