Consumer Description

WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS IN THE MORNING FOR THE FIRST 15-20 SECONDS YOU COULD HEAR A LOAD RATTLING NOISE THEN THE NOISE GOES AWAY. I HAD CHANGE THE OIL FROM SYNTHETIC TO REGULAR 5W30 BECAUSE WHEN I DRAINED THE CRANK CASE THE ONLY THING I HAD LEFT WAS 1.5 QT, IM TRYING WITH THE REGULAR OIL TO SEE WHAT IT DOES .I HEAR THAT MANY EQUINOX OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OIL CONSUMPTION. I WOULD LIKE TO REPORTED ,MAYBE ITS A PROBLEM AMONG THESE VEHICLES OWNERS. *TR
