1 qt every 1800 miles for the last 25:000 miles have 76:000 on it now don’t wate get rid of ASAP

If the oil changes are a bit lax and if you are in the habit of never checking the oil level while running it chronically down a quart or so then that is contributing to the problem. I’m a firm believer that an engine should not be allowed to run a quart down as that overheats the remaining oil and …

Isn’t the car still under warranty? See the dealer if it is. Yes it is a high oil consumption for that car and mileage.

Maybe high, but almost certainly within spec.

VOLVO_V70: I can’t tell if Watty is telling someone to get rid of their vehicle or if they are saying they have one and should not wate (SIC ) to get rid of it . And I guess 76:000 means 76000 miles. Wasn’t there another thread about Sorento oil consumption? It’s possible this was meant as a…

[image] davepsinbox_157004: 1 quart in 1800 miles is negligible as long as the owner checks his/her oil regularly. Negligible? Yow! I’m sure that I would not consider it negligible! Manageable? Possibly. Definition of negligible So small or unimportant or of so little consequence as to wa…

Yes, negligible, as in not a source of excessive concern. The OP doesn’t need to be freaking out over a quart in 1800 miles. He/she shouldn’t ignore his/her oil consumption but neither should he/she panic.

wate=want. Give the OP a break, guys. As noted, a quart every 1800 miles isn’t terribly high, but not great, either. Any sign of leakage? Has the PCV valve been replaced? Sometimes, switching to a different brand of oil can help. Be sure to use the proper viscosity; don’t fall into the trap of usin…

I guess we will. According to GM, oil consumption “can be in the range of one quart within 2,000 miles on a properly driven and maintained vehicle.” https://www.cars.com/articles/how-much-oil-consumption-is-normal-1420682864535/ 1800 is reasonably close to 2000 so I’d consider it normal. With a 5000…

Is there some part of “within 2000 miles” that has you confused? A quart slightly before 2000 miles would still be in GM’s normal range.
