From what I have heard the turbo engines do not use oil like the 2.5 engines. Heavier oil is called out for the turbos and the rings seal better.

What is the problem? Oil light on? Losing oil? Losing oil and no drip point?

I know there's a tsb for oil level sensors, depending on how the motors mounted they can be a pain to change and this is only if it's a low oil light is on but your oil is full.
