| 10000 mi | Dealer installed replacement supercharger after it finally arrived. I'm concerned because something still doesn't 'feel' right even though the turbo and supercharger are both working. Engine only requires oil changes every 10k miles with synthetic oil, but it has been consuming approx. 1qt of oil every 2000-2500 miles! Dealer ran diagnostics, says it is within normal paraments, glad when 3yr lease is over! |
| 13000 mi | Oil consumption issue got much worse, using more than one quart every 500 miles! After several weeks of my VERY firm demands, they replaced the engine under warranty! |

The trip to the shop was initially just for maintenance prior to a 4k mile road trip. The mechanic identified that the car was burning oil due to a clogged oil filter housing, sometimes known as an oil trap or PCV system, which needed replacement.
