    2012 equinox needs a litre of oil every week, what’s the solution?

    2011 2.4 LAF engine 132k, I'd be really happy if I get 225k, like you got out of yours! I apologize, I'm fairly new to this Forum thing, I was originally directing my reply to you, but somehow got in a discussion w/WizardLady! Pretty sure manual calls for plug replacement at 100k, like you...

    2012 equinox needs a litre of oil every week, what’s the solution?

    Really, I'll have to recheck that, pretty sure I read they should be changed at 100k? I've never thought to replace them because it runs perfectly, why try to fix what isn't broke!

    2012 equinox needs a litre of oil every week, what’s the solution?

    MY NEW CAT DIED AFTER ONLY 5 DAYS

    First off, I'm new to this, I've never had any cat. problem before, I do care about the environment, but I bought a "cheap knockoff" because I'm on a fixed income and it supposedly came with a lifetime warranty! The dreaded p0420 code popped up(after 5 days) and my mechanic scanned my ECM and...
