2022 Denali oil comsumption

[bob9280]

My '22 Denali 6.2 is using a quart of oil every 2000 miles. GM says this is within specs. Have to check oil often as not sure if it will get worse. Any suggestions.

Mileage and wieght and type of oil you are using?

 

[bob9280]

This has been occurring since it was new. Now has 22000 miles on the OD. Have been using 0W20 Mobile One since first oil change.

My 2023 6.2 Tahoe takes zero oil on 7.500 miles, and I am very happy. 0W-20 oil as recommended.

I would have dealer and maybe a different dealer than you have complained to run a oil consumption test so you will have documentation to run further up the chain.

I agree that I wouldn’t accept “this is normal” from a dealer. Try another dealer or call GM. If you can’t get satisfaction, you may be stuck selling that lemon and buying another.

My worry about this stems from the problems that several other 6.2 owners are having here around main and rod bearing failures. Worn or damaged main bearings throw off an excessive amount of oil which flows along the crankshaft and is thrown up into the cylinders.

Agree with ChrisYukon, go to another Dealer. That amount of oil consumption is not normal.

As much as I hate to say it, unless you are consuming more than 1qt every 2K miles, GM is going to call it normal..and no dealer is going to be able to change GM's mind...below is an excerpt from a bulletin on Oil Consumption, see here for full details.

Why does GM say that this rate of consumption only applies to vehicles under warranty? Are they implying that that the consumption increases when you hit 36K?
