1,000 miles per quart oil consumption is considered normal by vehicle manufacturers. Call their 1-800 Customer Service lines and see for yourself. Notice I didn't recommend calling their independent dealers, as they are just that, independent dealers and not the manufacturers of the vehicle.

Call whatever line you wish, send e-mails to their headquarters or engineering department, or what have you. But you will find that vehicle manufacturers and their engineers state that 1 quart per 1,000 miles is considered normal and not excessive, provided their isn't something else causing this oil consumption.

No reason not to trust the engineers who actually designed the engine. There's a lot more credibility their than self-anointed Internet, "experts".

because more than likely you cannot understand them over the phone and they cannot understand you. they are trained to read out of a troubleshooting book. customer service hot lines are a joke!
