Consumer Description

THE LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL WHEN THE OIL DROPS BELOW NORMAL. THE ENGINE USES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL FOR NORMAL USES. MY VEHICLE GOES THROUGH ABOUT 5 QUARTS OF OIL A MONTH IF NOT MORE AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT LEAKING ANY OIL AT ALL. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED FOR LEAKING. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT AT BUSY TRAFFIC LIGHTS, INTERSECTIONS AND HAS NOT STARTED DUE TO OIL ISSUES.
