I agree with you. Using engine oil between changes except for maybe a diesel engine using a little is NOT acceptable in any way. The manufacturers are just trying to keep from fixing their issues. Who else out there has this issue with the manufacturers?

Thanks for watching the show. Some manufacturers are replacing engines, but they have to be tested and show that they use a certain amount of oil. The weird thing is that the replacement engine we have seen in all of these uses no oil so is the engine they put in not a "Normal" engine (:

Lol Russ always cracks me up. Why is the car on its roof are they idiots? Lol

Why do car manufactures think that it is ok for my car to use up to 4 quarts of oil in 3k miles before they deem it as a problem that they will cover but EVERY SINGLE PERSON that I know that has one does not burn even a drop between changes at 5k miles. How is that normal? These guys are full of it.

Thanks for watching. If one car does it and most others don't then it is not "Normal" by any means. We don' t set the rules. Sorry.
