In October of 08 my 05 caddillac Srx began to buck and hesitate extensively. I had it towed to the dealer and was told it had no oil in it. I produced my reciept that I had the oil changed 730 miles previous. Car had 53,000 miles on it and out of warranty! I have since had to replace the fuel injectors (6 at $800) each and was told that this car is "known for burning oil. . . Which leads th this problem!". I now use three quarts of oil evry 6000 miles between oil changes! car has 81,000 miles and costs me about 2000 every 6 months in repairs!.
