Hello Everyone,

Yesterday my Low Oil light came on and I was short about a quart of oil in only about 2000 miles. Earlier today I came on this message board and found an article while skimming through search keywords from what I believe was someone at GM that explained all of the complaints that they were getting on oil consumption and it stated something about the fix they came up with so that people would be able to drive these high performance cars like hard like they should be able to. I didn't get to read the whole article and accidently closed it out and now I can't find it. If I try to use it in search none of the words will match because it was a link. I was about a page long explaining how part of the problem varried from driver to driver (such as if someone else was to use my car in a different sitation that they might not even burn as much oil and went on to talk about something that they replaced with a larger diameter from 9 cm to 14 or so). I appreciate if anyone ones the article I am talking about becuase it throughly explained the problem. I think the person who summited the link had a coment like "this might help...read". Thanks again.

 

See:

Info on Engine Oil Consumption Guidelines

& Higher than Expected Oil Use (Replace Rings).

So far, the only person that I know of that had to have rings replaced was on a '01 Z06.

FWIW, you should be able to find plenty of hits w/ a search for oil consumption - that maight "back your way in" to the article you wanted.


Good Luck !
