Consumer Description

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. BROUGHT THE CAR TO A CHEVY DEALER AND RETURNED WITH FULL OIL, AT ~55000 MILES. ONE MONTH LATER, AFTER PUTTING ON ~700 MILES, THE OIL LEVEL MARKER COULD MERELY DETECT ANY OIL LEFT. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD IT TOOK THEM 1QT OIL TO TOP-OFF (I FEEL IT SHOULD BE MORE THAN THAT), WHILE THEY ADMIT EVEN 1QT/700 MILES OIL CONSUMPTION IS NOT NORMAL. THEY'VE STARTED THE MONITORING, AND WE'LL SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING.
