Consumer Description

OIL CONSUMPTION IS OUT OF CONTROL! WHEN I BOUGHT THE SUV USED AT 63K I COULD HEAR WITHIN 65K I NEED OIL JUST FROM THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE. I BOUGHT A 5 QT AT WAL-MART BECAUSE THERE WAS LESS THAN A QUART ON THE STICK. I GOT AND OIL CHANGE PRIOR ON 8-13-19 MECHANIC SHOWED I WAS LOW ALREADY AT 66K AND WASN'T DUE FOR ANOTHER TILL 72,780 I'M AT 72K AND ENGINE NEEDS OIL! HOPE THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABIDES TO MY COMPLAINT.
