I was driving down the expressway and my check engine light came on. I immediately noticed that my oil pressure had dropped below 10 so I pulled off at the next exit and stopped at a gas station to check my oil. I was 4 1/4 quarts low. I replaced this oil and returned home. I took my 2009 Chevrolet silverado to the Dealer on Monday Oct 23, 2012;. told them what happened. I still had about 1000 miles before my next oil change when all this happened. The Dealer checked the vehicle and found no physical oil leaks. Did an oil change and told me I would have to do an Oil Consumption Study. I said we just had a study, I burned 4 1/4 quarts of oil in 5000 miles. I also asked why I didn't get an oil light instead of a check engine light. Did not get any answers.According to my bill from the dealer the tech checked the engine light and stated that it May have been due to oil pressure Drop on Line B. I have talked to about 4 people from customer service at GM and have not got any answers to my questions, they all say I have to do an oil consumption study over the next 5000 miles. I wonder what would happen to this truck if it belonged to James Campbell who heads up Chevrolet. I also asked Customer Service to define customer satisfaction for me. No response. Last time I talked to customer service they had a new term "they were reaching out to me" Still no resolution to this problem.
