2020 oil consumption

[cub]

Purchased new in December 2020 and had to add a quart of oil after 4800 miles. My friend purchased a new eco diesel in 2015 and hasn’t experienced oil consumption in the first 180000 miles. So what gives?

My guess is it was probably low to begin with? I assume you have checked for leaks, etc....

Yes I’ve checked for leaks and none found. It’s using a guart of oil every 4000 to 5000 miles. I just wanted to ask if this the normal for the eco diesel.

I've not seen any reports of this on the newer ones. Did you chat with the dealer?

Had a oil change ($287.13)and oil consumption test at a dealership. After the oil change I found my oil fill cap loose plus they forgot to reset the oil change gauge. So I don’t have much confidence in this dealership, so as the process continues.

Understood, keep us updated! You can always go to another one to get a second opinion.

Pay for oil change and then return to dealership after driving 1500 and have mechanic oil level.
