I love the car , just got it and it has no blowby but uses a qt of oil every 100 or 200 miles. 140k miles. Just did Arnott front struts since they were leaking down slightly overnight and didnt want them going out when it got colder.

Here is a couple pics. This had fantastic dealer service history all on time. I think they skipped air filters once or twice. Lol

Hoping a full delete will help with the oil issue. Turbo has no play to speak of and new air filters helped oil consumption slightly.

Here is a pic from when we got it a month ago. I do love this car like no other. It has the 20" wheels and 275/50/20 tires. In my area its odd to find an suv that hasnt been in salt some, but for the age this thing has no signs of being on any salty roads.
