Consumer Description

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION 2 QUARTERS PER EVERY 3000 MILES. VEHICLE IS NOW 71K MILES I CHANGED THE OIL 3 WEEKS AGO AND IT WAS MISSING 2.5 QUARTERS OF OIL I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR AROUND 800 MILES AFTER THE OIL CHANGE AND IS HALF WAY ON THE DEEP STICK AM AFRAID IF I KEEP DRIVING IT FOR 3 TO 4K MILES IT WILL BE VERY LOW ON OIL AGAIN AND I PURCHASED THIS CAR 7 MONTHS AGO FRO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT HAD 55K MILES AT THE TIME I ALWAYS NOTICED TO BE LOW OF MOTOR OIL AND I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE BY THE TIME GOING BY. I THINK IS TOO SOON TO BE BURNING MOTOR OIL AT THOSE LOW MILES.
