Plz Help! My 07 Truck Is Using Oil

[donshaw]

I have a 2007 z71 that uses 2-3 qt of oil between a 7000 mile oil change ( new body style and motor with 5yr 100000 mile factory warranty ) my truck has 47000 miles on it. My lovely local chevy dealer hands me this paper that says 1qt every 2000 miles is ok by gm standards " which is a joke " esp since the svc mgr told me that they can put some kind of " shield " in the oil pan that stops the motor from burning oil along with a fluid they put in the cylinders that clears out the carbon then they suck it out????

 

Should I get rid of my truck or pay them to do this procedure and has anyone heard of this and how much does it cost??

 

Thx

Donnie

It's a common issue.

 

And my dealer told me that a quart every THOUSAND miles is "normal".

 

Mine burns a quart every 1,200 miles or so.

my 07 NBS was buring around 1 qr every 800-1,000 miles, I had to keep a Data Sheet in my truck and every time the oil low add oil dash came on I needed to write down the information.

 

I had the data sheet for around 8 months, then took it back in. They had my truck for a little over 2 days. I had it down first week in feb. and have yet to burn any oil. seems the fix worked so far.

 

very pleased with GM fixing issue
