Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car was purchased on 11/23/05. One week after purchase, service manager informed me that my oil was really low and added a quart of oil. He advised me to check the oil level regularly. I noticed that I had to add a quart of oil every 1,000 miles or so. I voiced my concern to the service manager when I had my first oil change and was told that a quart of oil loss per 1,000 miles is normal . I checked my oil regularly to avoid any problems until one day, I found out about oil consumption tests. I told the service manager about it and he arranged to have it done on my next oil change. …”
