We got a new Suburban in '07 and it used a quart of oil every 1500 to 2000 miles. We had it in for service several times over what I thought was excessive oil consumption for a brand new vehicle. They could find no leaks or cause for the consumption, but stated that it was within factory specs for oil consumption. My brother in law has a Ford dealership and he also confirmed that such oil consumption was within factory specs for Ford. I've never had a new vehicle use oil like this and could not accept that everything was OK. However, the Chevy service department recommended switching to synthetic Mobil One. It reduced the oil consumption immediately dropping it down to about a quart every 8 or 9 thousand miles. It has over 70,000 miles on it and everything seems OK. I've always changed my own oil but I've let the Chevy garage do this one at their recommended intervals, so if there is a problem they can't say it's my fault.
