| Re: Oil Consumption
Don't quote me, as getting information out of GM is a lot harder than GM getting money from the taxpayer, but supposedly a TSB was issued July 23 regarding the oil consumption issue. You have to run through a battery of never-ending tests, and at the conclusion, if one ever makes it that far, it should lead to getting the motor re-ringed. Apparently, the General is finally admitting it's not uncommon to have a ring(s) go bad.
So far, 20,000 miles of consuming a quart every 1,000 - 1,200 miles isn't proof enough for them. And the failed timing gears - twice now in the last 15,000 miles, and the bad catalytic converter, and other emmission problems isn't enough either to condemn this motor. I guess I just never understood the true definition of normal. |
