Hey All,
As some of you may know, my parents recently purchase a white 2006 9-7x and they love it. It has about 60k miles on it and it drives/runs great.
On to the issue:
A few months back (April/May, I believe), the oil pressure light came on. We took the car to autozone and checked the light. The code said that the oil pressure sensor was going bad and needed to be replaced. They cleared the code and off we went. That following week my father contacted the dealer they purchased it from and setup an appointment to have them look at it. He brought it in and they said that the oil was pretty low and they chalked it up to one of their staff not putting enough oil when they changed the oil :nono;. So they changed the oil and ever since we have been watching the levels and each time it is brought in it is low on oil. We have discussed it with the service manager and they keep saying that it is normal for these trucks to burn oil... I don't remember off the top of my head, but they said something like over a quart of oil between oil changes is no big deal.
My concern:
I don't believe for one second that the vehicle SHOULD be burning oil like they suggest. I have read another thread on here about how this happened to someone else (they were told it is normal) and then they fried their engine.
What I need:
Can you guys confirm or deny these allocations and tell me what we need to do about the situation?
Thanks in advance,
Shane
