Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS BURNED SEVERAL QUARTS OF OIL SINCE I'VE OWNED IT. IT BURNS APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 1 1/2 QUARTS EVERY ONE THOUSAND MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE 2001 CORVETTES ALL HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE OF BAD PISTON RINGS. THEY SIAD SOME CARS CONSUME AS MUCH AS 3 QUARTS OF OIL PER 1000 MILES. THE AMOUNT OF OIL BURNED IS RELATIVE TO HOW HARD THE CAR IS DRIVEN. THERE ARE KNOW REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. I THINK THE WHOLE ENGINE SHOPULD BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE OIL SOAKED CATALITIC CONVERTER AND MUFFLERS.*AK
