There is no way you went 3 months with 0 oil in the car.

There is no way 5 qts of oil leaked out and you didnt notice and there are no traces.

There is no way you burnt 5 qts of oil without noticing tons of billowing smoke from your exhaust.

Im all out of ideas.

Maybe where ever you got the oil done forgot to put the new oil in. Drained it and then let you drive off. Improbable but possible.

sukk mii ballss hows that for spelling

OH boy! IBTL

However, I check my oil regularly. If there is a drastic oil consumption I will notify or go by the dealer so it can be place on my car records.

When did you last have the oil changed? It seems to me when you change the oil there are three possible scenarios that could cause this problem: 1) the drain plug fell out; 2) the oil filter was installed wrong (old gasket was still attached, etc.) 3) the oil fill cap wasn't put back on (although I don't think all the oil could escaped that way). Any of these problems would leave oil all over the place. Very curious in what they find.

When did you last check the oil level?

Also, something smells fishy here. Did the dealer say they found a leak? If not, they are trying to say that since you last checked your oil level you've burned around 5 quarts of oil - is there any evidence of that (like carbon deposits on the exhaust tips)? Did you notice any smoke out the tailpipe?

I think your dealer is full of shite... Have the car towed to another dealer or an independent mechanic that you trust and have them look at the car.

This is weird that it was trace of oil leaking or burning. Maybe someone forgot putting the new oil after draining the old oil.

That is why I always check the dipstick if I take the car to the dealer for an oil change.

I think the garage forgot to put some oil in after they took the old oil out of your car. If you should sue anyone you need to check this for sure, otherwise you might sue the wrong people.
