I have a 2001 and it hasn't burned a drop...until now.
There are 10, 200miles on it now (new in April 2001) and this morning I checked the oil and it is about 1 1/2 quarts low. The DIC said 70% oil life yesterday and when I started it up this morning the DIC says "Low Oil Level". I have not changed the way I drive. The hardest miles were from 1500 to 6000. I did check the oil level two weeks ago and it was fine. There are no oil spots in the garage nor at work.
Last oil change was at 7500 in early August-no consumption at all.
Oil Changes: 1500, 4500, 7500.
I am taking it to the dealer today to change the oil (only 300 miles early). What else should I do? Should I document the low level with the dealer or is this just a freak thing. I understand that their could be many factors, but should I be concerned?
If I have left out some base info, let me know.
Thanks.
Tony
