manager about it and he arranged to have it done on my next oil change. The first oil consumption test revealed abnormal results which prompted them to repair the problem.

I spoke to the service manager about it and was told that it was normal. I went to another dealer to have the oil consumption checked. The first oil consumption test revealed a quart of oil loss per 1000 miles and the second test revealed an abnormal result of a quart and a quarter oil loss per 1000 miles.
