Hi! I've posted recently for oil consumption but I was advised to post with worn oil rings. If I drive more than 200 miles I have to put 2-3 quarts of oil in. I have a black tail pipe. I have no smoke coming out anywhere. This vehicle has never towed anything. I bought at 66,000 miles. I am now at 83,xxx. I have had it checked by a mechanic and they said when they opened up the engine it was clean. No oil anywhere. Been fighting with the warranty company for almost a year. They consider oil rings wear and tear parts. They will not help me. I was told to get it fixed out of pocket 4-6 thousand dollars and this was by a shop that does nothing but work on Japanese vehicles. I 've done the oil consumption test, cleaned the EGR tube, replaced PCV. The only thing that I'm not doing is using synthetic oil. Anyone have any advise?
