OK, you can all start laughing at me now .. my SV8 went in at 80,000km to have the LS1 exchanged because of "excessive wrist-pin noise". The new engine is at 1700km and when I checked it yesterday, the oil level was about half way between ADD and the bottom of the dipstick. By my calculations it's using about 1 litre of oil per 1000km .. and it's linear; ie. at 500km about 1/2 a litre, at 1000 about 1 litre .. etc. It's back at the Holden dealer today. Want to make a bet that they top it up and tell me to keep driving and they'll put it on an oil consumption test? I think I might not check the oil for another 5000km and let it empty the sump ..
If this saga keeps going like this I might tell the dealer to get their used car dept to find me a nice AUII/AUIII V8 and I'll do a trade in/swap. [ BTW: The Dealer in this case has been pretty good. The problem is the overall build quality of these engines is very poor .. IMHO ] |
