so i have already been to the dealer and got new lifters because they were over aggressive. well it sucked up more oil so i took it back to the dealer ( they told me to in a thousand miles) and now im going to get engine overhaul with new rings etc. all for FREE i just need to trans to go out NOW before time runs out

Geez, which dealership is that? I had to jump through hoops to get my trans replaced, they wouldn't touch anything else that needed warranty work.

damn lucky you. mine goes through a quart every 2000 miles or so, no abuse, but thats normal for a v8

these guys are being really good to me, best service ever. mechanic was talking about gm performance parts, cam and a bunch of crap to get it to 400 hp lol, i said i diddnt have the money for that anyway. he is a really cool dude and is employee of the month haha. and they said if my oil drops even a little bit till my appointment for the overhaul to take it to them and they will give me oil for free. the place is right next to my house too.

That's how service at the dealership SHOULD be.

Just curious, but did they try to replace the valve covers to remedy the issue? Seems like a remember someone posting a TSB about the pcv portion of the valve cover having an issue....

gxp-miller-gxp

yes they did, im pretty sure its in the bulletin

been a lot of issues with rings. the tension on the oil rings causing fluttering and the oil consumption. Glad your dealer stepped up to the plate

gxp-miller-gxp

i talked to the mechanic about the oil catch can, and he said it would be pointless??? so yeah. maybe in the aspect of stopping the consumption but not entering my intake which is my biggest concern. to be honest i hardly know what oil rings are, all i know is im getting my engine rebuilt for free, and rings sound expensive

Lucky, my dealership wants me to have them change the oil, and come back every 500 miles to mark off the dipstick to make sure my car is burning what I say it is.
