Seems like these engines burn oil if you beat on them. If you run it hard at all, on the strip or street, make sure you check your oil constantly.
True enough.....but you think we wouldn't have to deal with that in the year 2011. I drive this thing like I am bad out of hell. That shouldn't effect it.

I used to do that with my Acura as well, I drove it for 38000 miles, nothing happened. My dad has it and 46000 miles later, everything is still cool.

could this be just 2010 issue? I changed my oil at 1000 miles using mobil 1 full synthetic oil. I recently changed my oil again at 5500 miles. (4500 mile oil life). thats because I floor it (push the peddle to the metal) at least 3 times a day. (drive it 5 days a week). when I changed my oil I had 5 and 1/4 quarts out of the engine.

So sorry to hear about this happening. Please do keep us updated. Glad to hear GM is going to do the repairs.

Yeesh, that's scary! Sorry to hear about your engine, brother.

I'm sitting at close to 24,000 miles now and reports like this frighten me.

Wow i'm sure glad they are fixing it for you. I'm at around 35k miles on mine and haven't had problems yet *knocks on wood*. So when they say replacement is an option are they talking about replacing the engine or the whole car?

glad they are fixing her but this definitly sucks. Hope the rebuild goes well.
This is exactly what scared my away from the FI craze I was going through, dont want to dump 6-8k and have a factory defect blow my life away.
And I agree, this car is a little too fragile
