Engine oil GONE
I'm new to the forum, and looking to see if anybody else has seen this.
I purchased a new manual shift, 2006 GTO and at 3200 miles, and 6 weeks later, I had a funny sound one day when I started it up. I drove it directly to the dealer about 5 miles away.
After them having it for 2 weeks, they came back and said the sound was the lifters being screwed because of the fact there was NO OIL in the car.
A battle ensued an and the end result was a "GM Engineer" coming back and saying it was my fault, because I didn't check the oil at every gas up like it says in the manual, so we're not going to warranty this. According to them, there was blow by around the pistons, and that is how the oil disappeared. They blamed this on me not knowing how to drive a stick shift, even though I've been driving a stick shift since I was 12 years old. I talked to several mechanics and they all said that if several quarts of oil disappeared by blow by in 6 weeks, there was something wrong with the engine. Not a single one said they have ever heard of such a thing, and two of them specialize in LS1/LS2 engines.
Legal proceedings are pressing forward, but I thought I would see if anyone on this forum have heard of such a thing.
