Someone mentioned the Corvette with a more than 500 miles/liter of oil being within the normal range. We are no where near that.

I just don't understand how a liter of oil every couple of months is an issue. Its super cheap to add a liter. Checking your oil every fill up is so minor as well - its not like we are saying check it every time you start the car. Its the most basic car maintainance. Checking your rear view mirrors isn't required either but I check mine all the time just so I know what's going on and what's changing then there are no surprises.

Oil consumption on the VQ engines would be very easy to inform yourself about before buying this vehicle - its not the Universe's fault that you didn't do your homework before you bought the vehicle. Its not new info and neither is the VQ37HR - its been out for years. Again no offense but the info is readily available....
