TSB for oil consumption on the VQ37VHR.

Bheaton1 · 11-28-2010, 10:04 AM

Thanks for the responses..... I did have a chance to check my oil yesterday and it was about 3/4 the way up between the low and the high. This is the first time I checked the oil. When I started the car yesterday the ticking noise was not there. However after driving and retuning to the garage (10 mile trip) the ticking noise returned. If the widows are up I cannot hear the noise. I can only hear it with the windows down. It seams to be located on the drivers side. Could this noise possibly be normal? I have an "88" Fiero that has the same ticking noise.

BTW, my original question had nothing to do with who was responsible for checking the oil. I understand this resides with me. I feel that the dealer should share the information about the TSB or a recall (if they exist) when someone purchase a car that could fall within certain date and VIN parameters.
