I was at the dealership yesterday and they still telling me that's normal. The best question from them: are you driving a lot or sometimes fast? because that could cause higher oil consumption. Are they kidding me????
But the comment from the service manager really killed me: "I have good news, your car qualifies to add 1qt more oil than usual, means instead of 1qt they could add 2qt."
They added 1qt of oil around noon time (with 7081 miles) and it was at the maximum, in the evening I checked again and it was a little lower than maximum already (with 7135 miles).
no idea what to do now, but this is really unacceptable.
Do you think it makes sense to go to another dealership/service center?
