What 2015 Volvo V60 owners say
Engine & cooling
The contact owns a 2015 Volvo V60. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing an abnormal oil consumption. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming 2 quarts of oil for every 1,200 miles driven. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where an oil consumption test was performed, and the contact was advised to return after driving 1,000 miles. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the oil consumption test would be covered. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
The engine consumes an excessive amount of oil, requiring the addition of about one quart every few hundred miles. There are no visible external leaks, and the issue appears to be due to internal engine components such as piston rings allowing oil into the combustion chamber. This poses a risk of engine damage and loss of power. The problem has been observed consistently and confirmed by a repair shop. No crash or safety incident has occurred, but the vehicle's reliability and safety are compromised.
