Yes the 6.2 Liter V8 engine consumes oil! The same in the GMC and Cadillac

Roger lake · November 16, 2017

I owned a 2015 GMC Yukon Denali and it had only 11k miles on it and it was burning oil. Then we sold it and bought a 2016 Cadillac Escalade brand new and guess what it now has just over 20k and it is now burning oil. On top of that the transmission when put in park rolls foward and tends to slip from 1st to 2nd gear. I wish they weren't so pretty and had great seating because they are complete junk. I never seen so many issues in my life. The old Cadillac's were great and didn't do this in my experience. Don't waste you money buy a Lexus or Infiniti.

So how do people who cannot spell or use correct grammar, or learn how to apply a parking brake for that matter, get to a station in life where they can afford new Denalis and Escalades year after year?

Never understood that myself.

Me and the brother in-law have a saying "There not like that at work"

The garage is full of junk, cluttered up mess, the car is never washed etc.

Go figure.

Life is far too short to worry about stupid little non-impotant things like spelling and grammar.

My father didn’t get pass 8th grade, I’m sure his spelling wasn’t too great. He still managed to own a few business and became a millionaire and had a few caddy’s and Lincoln’s. I don’t think he worried too much about spelling.

Buy a Lexus? I just spent the last five years owning a LS460 "flagship" Lexus vehicle. Absolutely babied it and maintained it like no ones business. When I reached "high mileage" that thing burned through four quarts of oil in a 6,000 mile oil change. The interior fell apart, the suspension was a disaster - changed almost every component on that front end and it still sounded like rocks. The brake actuator was on its way out (a common $3,000 dollar repair on those cars). The thing would burn through tires every 30,000 miles, nothing you could do to prevent it...the suspension never could be aligned right. Hesitation issues, oil leaks at the high pressure fuel pumps, water pumps, melting dashboards, valve spring recall, many other major recalls.

And that was GREAT car compared to most. All cars and trucks will have problems, lots of them. Keep them clean, take care of them and don't drive them like it's your last day on earth. Makes a big difference.

It is great to hear such a glowing report on how much you love the 6.2 . And thanks for the tip to stay away from Lexus and Infiniti. If you ever stop loving your 6.2 feel free to report back with post 2 .

The only reason burning oil is bad is because for the last 100 years it’s been a sign of a bad ring seal. In these motors it’s coming through the valve train as a leak because of the afm. It’s not a big deal.

if you wish to stop it almost comletely, stop using the recommended 0w-20 oil. Use 5w30, which is what the camaro and corvette use, and their motors are internally identical to ours.

I had a 94 Z28 and a 99 F-150 use a quart every 2500 miles from new. I sold the Z 7 years later with 130K still using the same amount. The Ford at 20K miles I added a Vortec S/C. Three years at 120K I traded in still use the same amount even with 5lbs of boost. Both manufacturers said the were in acceptable limits.

Does not matter what brand someone buys; they're all junk. Just a roll of the dice if you get a good unit or not.

Case and point. Pap's had 2 identical Savana vans. Both were treated and maintained the same. One got to 720,000km's on the original drive train. Only wear items were repaired/replaced. The other one made it to 460,000km's. Differential blew up, transmission had major repairs on several occasions. Chewed through tires for some reason, regardless of alignment.
