It’s no secret that after a while, a worn-out engine is likely to burn some oil. But that shouldn’t happen in a well-maintained used car for at least 10 years, if ever.
Consumer Reports, however, has found that there are several models built within the last decade that are known to burn oil at any mileage.
For the most part, manufacturers fixed or discontinued the problem engines in later model years. But there are still a lot of individual vehicles on the road that burn oil.
Some, such as certain BMW vehicles equipped with twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engines, were never fixed by the manufacturer. Others, such as certain Chevrolet Terrain and GMC Equinox SUVs with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines, received extended factory warranties in which oil consumption issues could be corrected.
If you’re looking at a used car that may be affected by this problem, make sure documentation and inspection show that it has been fixed, or that the car is still under the original or an additional factory warranty before you buy it. (Enough time has passed that many of these oil-burners are out of warranty now.)
