Oil Consuption issues are all over the Internet and market in 2008 Suburbans. We bought ours new and have taken it to Chevy dealers for all service and scheduled maintenance and continue to do so. Around 54,000 miles we started to see excessive oil consumption. Chevy has had service bulletin after service bulletin concerning this issue. Band-Aid after band-aid by GM has not fixed the problem. Now we deal with Stabilitrak and Traction Control warning lights, engine lights, low oil pressure warnings, and fouled plugs all tied to this unidentified unresolved issue on a regular basis . As always, GM puts another band aid on the problem, tells me that its normal for this engine to burn a quart of oil every "2,000" miles (eventhough its really 1,200) and all these issues are not tied together and sends me on my way. Now at 127,000, its out of warranty and I'm starting to get the feeling I'm out of luck.
