I have a 2001 limited edition w/22666 mi.on it.I picked it up and when I got home checked it over,being a heavy truck mechanic I had to check under the hood found I was a qt. and a half low! Dealer gave me a free oil change for this "oversight".that was at 17600 mi. at 19000 It was a qt.low again! Dealer said to change oil bring in so they could check and document it.No leaks found,said to bring back if happens again that a qt.per thousand miles was acceptable!Can u believe that? Now at 22666 it's almost a qt. low again. Any one else having a consumption prob.?I have an isuzu w/ 150,000 mi.on it and it doesn't use a qt. between oil changes,nor does my GTO with over a hundred thousand on it. The PT is a joy to drive and only gets driven once every 8-10 days maybe,mostly hiway,have found no signs of leaks,using mobile-1 oil.Any info appreciated.
