Is there something I can do to fix or help that issue? I know there was a class action lawsuit filed, but I’ve heard it’s hard to actually get done, and the fix they do may not be worth it. What should I do?

Hi,

There are many technical service bulletins related to this concern, but from I see, no recall.

I have a few questions. Do you ever notice blue smoke from the exhaust? Are there any leaks you notice on or under the engine? Are you using more than a quart of oil in 1,200 miles?

Let me know.

Hello,

In the diagrams down below I have included the Technical Service Bulletins[TSB][s] for oil seepage. I would also recommend doing a compression test for your vehicle. Here is a link to a guide explaining how to do this below:

Please go through the guide and get back to us with what you find out.

Thanks,
