    Engine

    Since the purchase of the vehicle, it burns well over a quart of oil when it traveled 1000 miles. Hence having to replace 3 to 4 qts of oil between oil changes. The dealer insists that this is ?normal.? I thought that they should be required to put this on the sticker information of all new cars while others are documenting the same information. *la
