| I have an '04 M6s that has been using a lot of oil. After two years of complaining about it, Mazda finally did an oil consumption test. They have confirmed that the car is using 1.5-2 Qts every 1500 miles. I am wondering if anyone with a similar problem has posted. I looked around but couldn't find. The service guy told me they may want to replace the engine! I am not sure I want this car back after that ordeal. I already had the clutch redone (29K), the seat replaced, two fan modules, sunroof seal, window track adjustments, reverse light switch, and a few other things. I am not happy about this car after a mere 40k miles or so. Anyone have a similar experience? | |
I have a 2006 M6 with 32000 miles. on my way home from work the engine started to knock. The dealer drained my oil said that there was only 1.5 quarts in the engine and that the repair would not be covered under warrenty. So I am stuck with a blown engine that will cost $5500. There are many others out there that have had the same fate as me. Most have stated that the pcv valve malfunctioned and vacumed oil out of the engine.

Replying to: jbah (Aug 12, 2007 7:45 pm)  when all gas stations were actually full-service stations, the attendant would check the oil and wash the front and back windshields while the gas was pumping into the tank. This happened with every fill-up.  But I agree, it seems far-fetched that jkeef2's engine could have burned THAT much oil - let us know what happens. |

Replying to: jkeef2 (Aug 12, 2007 7:05 pm) Are they really saying the neglect was that you did not notice it had somehow lost 3 quarts of oil, or are they maybe claiming you did something wrong when servicing it yourself, that caused the oil loss? |
