IS your car under warranty still? I know the mileage is low, but what year is it. I would avoid ever adding any oil additive since virtually every manufacturer says not to and using an additive can void your warranty. I would wait until the dealer examines it before adding any additive.Stick with keeping it topped off.

Let's say you add a quart every two weeks. That's 26 quarts a year. At $6 per quart for synthetic (or buy it on sale), that's $156 per year. A LOT cheaper than paying for repairs that are not under warranty.

 

im under warranty but i have the used car warranty. si i have to pay 100 for whatever the real price is if it is higher. i have 2002 225 witk 35000 on it.

 

Then pay the $100 and get it fixed now, whatever the problem is. It'll be much more than that if you let it get out of warranty.

 

Iagree 100%. I've seen other people have similar problems and it had something to do with the turbo. Is your coolant pink or a brown color? It is extremely unusual for a car with that low of miles to have problems like these. Hotgrass,have you always had theseproblems or is it just recently?

 

update on this. i just got the car on january and i took it to the stealership for them to check it out. they said they didnt find anything. they said it is normal for my tt to burn 1qt for every 1k miles. normal or lie?

 

No. Do a compression test and if its low, that will help settle this

 

total lie.. i believe the factory spec puts a maximum of 1qt per 8000 miles. I know mine burns about 1 qt every 9000 or so. Normal is between 8000-10000 miles.

 

do you have any facts to back this up so i could slap it to the stealerships?

 

I don't remember where I saw it, but i bet of you search for a while you will find something like I did.Is there any noticeable loss of fluid anywhere? Any smoke? It has to be going somewhere. That is a lot of fluid loss.

 

could it be my oil 0-40? should i try something else on my next oil change?
