Recently bought a 2010 Equinox with the 2.4 in it. 2 weeks later my cousin told me about their oil consumption issues. Had to add 2 qts of oil the next day (9/10/21). The place i bought it from kindly took it to diagnose and they replaced the intake manifold instead of just cleaning it. Noted that they did not believe it to be the piston rings because the car doesnt produce excess smoke.
They told me to keep an eye on it and let them know if i continue to have problems within the next few weeks.
After i picked it up i called my local chevy dealer and gave them the vin. They said there were no open recalls and that the Piston/Rings were replaced in 2015 when the vehicle had around 40,000 miles. It now has 95,000.
Was the piston/ring fix a permanent solution? Or did people continue to experience high oil consumption after having them repaired?
Thank you!
