Well a 2007 car that uses that much oil is stuffed. Don't accept the car back, unless its had an engine rebuild. Must have done high kms for that to happen, those engines should be better than that. This may only be the start of your problems!.

It could be from something as simple as a leaking oil filter, I'd imagine (assumption, I know) that it would have been serviced at some point before the sale. Again, I haven't seen the car myself, so I don't know.

The mechanical warranty excludes certain things as you may well appreciate. Dependson the assessment at the end of the day.

Anyone with galls enough to operateor drive a motor vehicle and being a licenced driverwould be reasonably expected to know where a Dip stick is located & how to pull it out & pop it back insimilarly alsowith how to check the water levels. or put air in tyres.No mechanical aptitude required for that but just some simple common sense .

What mechanical warranty are you talking about! 1 month/1000km is CGA stuff
