on! I got mine today. Isn't that kinda like a disclaimer. It is your driving not our workmanship that is causing your car to use oil. Mine doesn't use oil at 37,000 I regularly drive over the 3,000 RPM mark and it does not use oil.

Got mine's today. Something somewhere must have happen for GM to sent out a letter like that.

Haven't received mine but will be on the look out for it, I have noticed that mine appears to use oil, had to add a quart,(mobil 1). Have 26700 on the car, its an 04, and do use engine braking, can't help it, it just sounds so good!. But why would this cause oil use, is it burning it or blowing it out some where, that is the question.

ls2 under warranty for 'very spirited driving' and are looking for a way out...
CYA all the way!

This letter materially alters the warranty that you agreed to when you purchased your vehicle. Under the Uniform Commercial Code Section 2-207, such a material alteration or change to the agreement can void the contract, or simply be ignored if conduct is contradictory to the letter, meaning that you can make GM pay you back for your inconvenience/cost of coverage, or even buy back your car.

Here's the catch. They can legally screw you if you do not reply "seasonally", stating that you object to this alteration. You must send a certified reply, stating that this is a alteration of your warranty agreement, to which you did not agree, nor contract to, when you purchased the vehicle.

ALL of you should send a reply with your objection immediately. If GM does not refund part of the cost of the vehicle, offer to purchase back your vehicle at a reasonable cost, or acceptable substitution for the now useless warranty, they can not hold you to this. It is a statement. If you do nothing you agree to it.

.... who knew Law School, and staying awake through contracts would come in handy....

I think I'll follow your advice on this one...I agree with you 100%.
