Now its mileage is 140k, and in recent 3 months the oil consumption problem occurred, around 1 quart every 3k miles.I did all maintainance by myself after warranty. It has no major problem, just the AC was replaced in 2025.ChatGPT (AI) suggests to trading in this car ASAP, said a lot of issues caused by oil consumption may happen, also the timing chain, and expensive repair may happen after 150K mileage.My previous plan was to keep it until  2027 end and reach 160k. It has a lot of good features. I do like driving this car.What's your opinion? When do you plan to retire your 2nd generation Equinox?</blockquote>
