- 2011 Chevrolet Equinox Excessive Oil Consumption - #15285 - Special Coverage Adjustment - Excessive Engine Oil Consumption - (Jul 22, 2015)

Excessive oil consumption. Have had to replace engine within first year of owning. Working okay for a while. Had an oil change in July only drove around 2000 km, as I am a student. Yesterday Dec 9th, car was running rough and loud. Called my local autoshop turns out I had no oil. Ridiculous. He said oil consumption issues are common with the 2011 chevy equinox and advised me to check my oil weekly. He explained that one week it could be a good amount of oil and the next be low or have nothing left. Inconsistent oil consumption also a big issue if you don't know to check regularly and will result in your engine blowing up among other related issues.
