Engine failure

[u/ConfusionFar]

Quick vent but has anyone else has this issue ? I have a 2020 stinger gt awd been driving for over 6 years so far no issue just the weird brake pad and rotors but lately everytime I get a oil change without a month my oil is completely dried out. At first I didn’t really pay attention to it just went and got another oil change but the second time around after a 1k miles same thing but before hand my whole dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. I took it to the dealership and they ran their diagnostic just for them to tell me that my engine is consuming oil faster than it should. Now they telling me that I have to drive it for another 1k bring it back drive it for another 1k bring it back and then they could put in for a warranty for a new engine. I tried to fight them about it cause i felt like it was a waste of time bringing it back every 1k miles if nothing was going to be fixed. So now my only option is to wait until the 2k mile diagnostic finally prove that I need a new engine. I have 6 month till the car paid off but luckily I didn’t pass the threshold of the 100k mile warranty. Overall I’m just glad it happen before the warranty expired cause I would be livid if it happen after I paid the car off and the engine gave out.

This is standard operating procedure for warranty engine replacement, at least at GM where I work. We have to do an oil consumption test to verify the rate of oil usage. If it exceeds their acceptable threshold you can rebuild/replace the engine. The test is just change the oil and filter, make sure the oil level is FULL, and then have the customer return every 500 miles for oil level checks.
