wow that sucks! Sorry to hear this

Dunno if it has any relation but I'm wondering if the colder weather had any effect on it.. I have noticed since the cold weather started here my vx has been burning oil much faster.. Even got to the "add" line the other day which has never happened to me before. I do feel like I've been having to give a bit more throttle for the same drive.. And gas mileage has gone from 17 to 15

Have you noticed any change in oil consumption?
