uses a lot of oil 115000 miles , no leaks

You ARE checking your oil regularly, right? Run the engine out of oil and it will go BANG!

[image] davepsinbox_157004: Define “a lot of oil.” A quart in a couple of thousand miles is perfectly acceptable. You might not be happy but it is. Acceptable according to the terms of many manufacturers’ warranty coverage to limit their liability and expenses, but if I owned a 2016 vehicle w…

GM says significantly more than a quart in 2,000 miles is excessive in a new car. At 115,000 the bar would be lower. If you drive 12k a year a quart in 1k = a quart a month, which many of us could easily live with. A quart in 500 is only one every couple of weeks. I’ve owned absolute dogs that neede…

Vanishing into the unknown is a somewhat common trait around here. As for oil consumption, there’s a difference between acceptable and what should be. To me, a quart in a couple of thousand miles in unacceptable. The fact that a car manufacturer may say a quart per 500/1000/2000 miles is normal me…

If you owned a 2016 car with 115,000 miles and you found that burning a quart every 2000 miles unacceptable, your only recourse would be to sell it. Even if it was a brand new car no one is going to “fix” an engine that is burning one quart in 2000 miles because it is not broken. I understand you …

When you manufacture/assemble millions of engines every year, you’re going to write a SPEC for those engines that covers your A$$. Tester

Define “a lot of oil.” A quart in a couple of thousand miles is perfectly acceptable. You might not be happy but it is. A quart in 1000 or 500 is actually a fairly minor problem, as long as you check your oil regularly.
