Motor and excessive oil consumption.

I own a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with 71,453 miles . The vehicle was serviced regularly and I recently noticed an oil consumption issue. After a visit to my usual service garage and subsequently a certified dealer. , the problem was acknowledged. I called Chevrolet USA and opened a file based on my information. At one point my truck computer warned to pull over and not drive any further due to low oil. Upon inspection there was no external reason for the fact that the oil was low. The vehicle has regular oil changes with mobil 1 synthetic. After checking Chevrolet 5. 3 liter engine issues I found that a class action lawsuit was filed regarding the same issue as mine. The suit did not go anywhere but the issue seems to be the same that my truck is experiencing. It is not under warranty any longer but had only 71,453 miles at the time of issue recognition. Chevrolet customer service basically dismissed my complaint saying that there is nothing that they can do because there's no recall or gm bulletin. The dealer solution is a piston and ring replacement for $ 6,999. 95 which is basically an engine rebuild (but not a complete one). In addition, they will install what was referred to as a ballast which would solve the consumption issue supposedly. If this is true then I assume that there is an inherent issue. Another alternative is to check your oil every 1000 miles and if you are low then add it. None of this makes sense with a vehicle that cost over $40,000 with 71,000 plus miles. I am registering this complaint because I am frustrated and disappointed. This I am sure that this has happened to others according to my research. Thank you.

Excessive oil consumption, burns 2 quarts of oil per 1000 miles. Multiple valve lifters had to be replaced due to damage cause by low oil. Had lifters replaced last summer. Faulty oil monitor design, doesn't indicate oil is low. This happens during normal use of vehicle. Ongoing issue.

Oil engine consumption about every 1200 miles.

Engine burns through oil and always needs additional oil between oil changes. There is no signs of an oil leak nor is there any smoke. Also the frame of the truck is comepletely rusted.

Takata recall burning engine oil.

The engine in the chevy vehicles from 2007-2015 all have high oil consumption and require engine replacement anywhere after 500 miles. My car was purchased new and needs a new engine a little over 5 years later?.

Engine oil comsumption without warning driving down the road my truck starts dinging for my engine oil pressure is low and to shut off engine immediately. I pull over and check oil and it is not even on the dipstick. I am 1600 miles into my oil change so as recommended by chevy I shouldn't have to change my oil but every 5000 miles, but I have always changed it every 3000. So I should have another 1400 miles to go before changing but instead inm about 3 quarts low. This is not the first time but I watch it very carefully since the last time. Now I am worried it will total my engine after seeing how much oil is being burned. Never a drop on the ground just going somewhere in the engine.

My truck has been consuming excessive oil. I have used the synthetic oil that is specified and changed the oil every 5000 miles. Took it to the dealer and they said they have identified problems with the engine but my warranty has expired. I had to spend another $2,000 for an extended warranty to cover the future fixes they described. There should have been a recall to fix this problem when it was identified. I bought this vehicle new and have never been told of the issue until I complained to a chevy dealer. They know it exists yet they try to fix it with a band-aide type solution. In the end I had to spend $2,000 to cover a problem they knew existed yet did not let me know so I could bring it in before the warranty expired. Now I am told I have to endure an oil consumption test requiring me to drive 45 minutes to the dealer, wait for my test and return again. Then they experiment with three different things that might fix it before they replace the engine costing me time, money and inconvenience. As I type this I have to endure the chevy truck commercial that says they are the best built, longest lasting truck. I am disappointed and frustrated. I should have been notified of this problem long ago.

My vehicle is burning more oil than normal. I purchased the pickup on Aug 10, 2016 and the day prior the dealership had just done a fresh oil change. I double checked the new oil before driving from the lot and seen the oil was new and fresh. A month and a half later my husband is driving home from cape may new jersey which is a 6 hour drive and just after filling up his gas tank and driving home. . . The vehicle starts smoking profusely. He had to add 5 quarts of oil to the vehicle because it looked as though the oil was completely drained from the engine.

My truck is a 2016 and is burning oil took it to the dealer and they are telling me that it is acceptable for this truck to burn oil but for a brand new truck I think it it's not true when I had 2004 tahoe and I never had any trouble my brother bought a new truck and is not burning anything.

My 2013 has developed the notorious lifter tick from a collapsed lifter (this affects many 5. 3l v8 engines of this era). This will lead to excessive oil burning, and clogged exhaust systems over time due to the oil burning. This also damages/destroys the cam shaft over time and requires frequent spark plug changes. I suspect this problem started as early as 60,000 miles (while still under warranty) however because the truck wasn't consuming 1 qt / 1000 miles gm refused to look into the issue further. This is a well-documented issue on these vehicles over time, this can lead to stalls or breakdowns which can be a hazard. It also serverely diminishes the resale value of the vehicle as the required repairs are quite expensive (about $2000 - $3500).

High oil consumption.

5. 3l engine oil consumption. Engine consumes 3 to 4 qts of oil between oil changes and fouls #7 spark plug causing extreme loss of power. Oil consumption is getting progressively worse. Dealer claims it is a known problem, but my VIN is not included in warranty extension.

Oil consumption issue with 5. 3 l v8 engine. Uses 4 qts of oil between 5000 mile oil change. Started at 95352 miles when warning light came on saying oil pressure was extremely low. Found out truck only had 2 qts of oil left in it. Oil life reading was still at 7%. Then engine started fouling cylinder one spark plug noticed by engine code and sluggish driving. Dealer replaced, fouled again. Dealer replaced left valve cover to fix, fouled plug again. Dealer suggested piston ring job. Not done due to cost. Now has fouled plug two more times and is still using 4 qts oil between 5000 mile oil changes. Only 119816 miles currenly.

Engine tick, rough idle & misfire, burning oil, engine trouble light on, obd code p0300 & p0302.

Excessive oil consumption found when changing oil at 3,000 miles and no oil was in the engine at all.

Excessive oil consumption caused spark plugs to prematurely fail causing the engine to misfire and run rough. Spark plugs from cylinders #1 and #7 were found oil fouled and/or cracked. Per service bulletins issued by general motors, the dealership replaced the spark plugs and made various other repairs related to the oil consumption problems caused by the active fuel management system. Initial repairs did not correct the oil consumption problem (1/2 quart burned in approximately 1,000 - 2,000 miles) and oil was visible on the new spark plugs within 1,000 miles of afm repair work. I was told this was "normal" according to general motor's standards. The dealership/gm customer service agreed to make additional repairs to replace the trucks pistons and rings to see if that would correct the oil consumption problem but no definite or long-term solution has been indicated to correct the source of the afm/oil consumption issue. The success of the most recent repairs is pending.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that engine oil was being consumed prematurely. The contact had to replace the oxygen sensor more than once due to the premature oil consumption. The manufacturer advised that the vehicle had exceeded the mileage that provided the newly designed oil pin and new valve covers that they were offering. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 145,000.

Continued excessive oil consumption.

2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Consumer states vehicle burns oil at a rapid rate the consumer stated after numerous attempts to correct the problem, he has not been able to stop the engine from burning excessive amounts of oil within a short period of time. The consumer believed the rings or piston walls were defective and believed the engine should be replaced under warranty.

Around the time my truck hit the 42000 mile mark the oil low indicator warning illuminated on my instrument panel. I took it in to the dealer since it was well under warranty. The dealer began an oil consumption test and the truck continued to go through oil regularly. Sometimes just half a quart but sometimes as much as 1 1/2 quarts. The dealership did work on the engine 6 months into this issue but that did not stop the oil consumption. After dealing with them for over 12 months, and the low oil light coming on 2 more times, I was told there was nothing wrong with the truck and according to gm specs, consuming 1 quart of engine oil every 2000 miles, was acceptable. I called and complained to the gm corporate offices but was told that they could not contradict the dealership since they were the ones monitoring the oil consumption issue. I told them that by their "specs" if I took my family on a road trip from CA to NY and back, I would have to replace at least 3 quarts, or half the total in the crank case, during the trip. I know of no other automobile manufacturer that would find this acceptable. Gm says it is. In my opinion, this is a safety issue that gm is well aware of and failing to address, even when an owner has followed the recommended maintenance schedule and reported the issue in a timely fashion. I will not own another gm product. Their customer-no-service is terrible and contrary to the television ads, they do not stand behind their products.

Every 2500 mile after a oil change I get a low oil engine light and have to add a quart in a half of oil to top it off again. After doing gm's oil consumption test three times gm tells me that the dealer that I was bring my truck to for the oil consumption test stated that I was drive my truck to hard are I was pulling something.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the engine was consuming excessive oil. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that the vehicle was operating to standard and that it was normal for a vehicle to burn oil between maintenance. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 90,000.
