Description of the problem | Oil indicator and screen flashed message to sop car immediately. I was on the freeway and forced to try to get to the berm. I had to get out of the car and walk to the store from the freeway to purchase oil. A new oil change had just been performed 2000 miles before so the car wasn't due for an oil change yet. This car has the ecotec 2. 4 liter engine and is consuming oil at an alarming rate. It consumed 3. 5 quarts within 2000 miles. This could result in sudden engine failure on the freeway or elsewhere. |
