2006 chevrolet 2500 pick-up w/8.1 motor. First there was faulty hoses causing low oil warning to come on. Now engine is low on oil with 1800 miles since last oil change. Had to put in 1 1/4 quart of oil. After engine break in. I switched to mobile 1 5w30 synethic. A recommended oil to use by chevrolet. Dealers service dept. Says its suppose to use a quart to 2000miles. I don't believe that with the modern technology of engines. Maybe years ago but not now.
