excessive oil consumption

Asked by neezo1759 Aug 12, 2019 at 10:07 AM about the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

my 2013 Silverado is consuming oil excessively.  It was down 2 qts over 1600 miles.  It is still under warranty and the dealer wants to tear the engine down to see whats going on.  they sad if they don't find a part that's defective then I would have to pay to put it back together.  It has 74k miles.  So my question is it worth it to do this or should I trade it in.

I would say that the oil loss is closer to/or bad rings or seals (valve seals). If not corrected now it will only a lot wore loss per miles.
