I have an 06 sport with 28K and have been chasing an oil usage issue for some time now (the last 15K miles or so). Dealer says there is not problem and that 1 Qt. oil consumption per 1000 miles is OK.
I do not agree. That would mean that for the standard oil change interval of 5K miles, I would run out of oil in the car. I've added about 3 Qts. in the last 6-8 months. I am using Amsoil 0w20 for the car. There are no visible leaks. My guess is a bad ring, or a leak in the head gasket...but they will not do a leak-down test on the car. I am debating whether I should just pay them to do one, and then when (if) they find something tell them that I will not pay for the test or the repair, since I am still under warranty.
I have seen only 1 post on another board about this issue, anyone else having this problem?? (uhm)
