Consumer Description

It happened with me twice when I noticed that after about 1800 miles after my car’s oil change, the oil light comes up when there’s a turn or a speed bump. After checking the dipstick, I noticed that there was no oil in the engine. I got it checked for some possible leaks in the car but there were none. This narrowed it down to the cause that the car is burning oil too quickly and that it could also lead to to engine seizure if on a long drive. I also did some research on the same and found that I wasn’t the only one and that there still hasn’t been a recall on the same. I believe it is a safety issue if the engine malfunctions while driving, be it long range or a short one.
