Consumer Description

Hello. I'd like to report an engine oil consumption problem. I owe Hyundai sonata 2015, 9 years and 5 months. I have been having engine oil consumption problem over 2 years. It was not that serious around 2023 and 2024, also I know this car has oil consumption problem, so I checked engine oil frequently and refilled it when level went down below the "L" level. Last week, I had an engine alarm whish was powertrain system problem " P2096". So I brought my car to Jeff's garage(180milles from my home) and fixed this problem. When I checked the amount of oil before I drove, level of oil was a little above "L" level. But, when the technician checked the car, they found that engine oil left 1 quart only. (I refilled the oil 4 times already for last 4 month, I drove around 2300 miles for last 4 month) They also showed me the stick without any engine oil. They changed new oil and made sure the level on the stick was above "F" level. However, after I drove around 180 miles, I found the level was between F and L. There is no oil leaking but oil consumption is getting worse. I think some of oil consumption is normal or expected, but this is too much. Please check the safety of this engine.
