Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE IS BURNING MORE OIL THAN NORMAL. I PURCHASED THE PICKUP ON AUG 10, 2016 AND THE DAY PRIOR THE DEALERSHIP HAD JUST DONE A FRESH OIL CHANGE. I DOUBLE CHECKED THE NEW OIL BEFORE DRIVING FROM THE LOT AND SEEN THE OIL WAS NEW AND FRESH. A MONTH AND A HALF LATER MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING HOME FROM CAPE MAY NEW JERSEY WHICH IS A 6 HOUR DRIVE AND JUST AFTER FILLING UP HIS GAS TANK AND DRIVING HOME...THE VEHICLE STARTS SMOKING PROFUSELY. HE HAD TO ADD 5 QUARTS OF OIL TO THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT LOOKED AS THOUGH THE OIL WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED FROM THE ENGINE.
