I recieved a recall on the oil consuption sensor in march had the part put in at Paola Kansas Vickers Chevrolet they half assed it if you ask me they said they did not take my wheel off i asked them to check that sensor it wouldnt reset the air pressure told me it would be 140 i said not come to find out there is a recall it never came back on but it always made a terrible wheeel noice after. With in a few days it was useing a 1 to 2 quarts of oil every week i changed my oil every 3 months or 5400 miles or less sometime 3500 per my dad. Then come January it got below 0 and my oil froze up and i waited tell it was over 32 added oil and went to work with in 35 miles the light came on and said turn off engine low oil so i did put in more oil got to work on the wayhome stopped every 15 miles added oil. My stepdad who is a machanic looked at it and said the sensor was not in tight enough causing condisation cause the engine to lock up
