Hi,
Sorry if this may have been posted already. I searched within the forum but did not come up with anything. I have a 2018 compass that I'm leasing. 5100mi on it now. The other day the oil pressure low light/chime dinged and lit up for maybe a second as the engine start/stop kicked in after being at a stop. Happened twice. Took off the start/stop. Got home and checked oil. Stick came out dry. Added 2 1/2 quarts to get it normal range. Called my service dept and was told by the woman who schedules that it doesnt need service needs oil change every 3000mi? Really on synthetic? I leased a Rav4 for 8 years,,never had an issue and maintenance required light would come on when it was time for a change which was at 5000 .
My husband brought the car in for me and said the service tech said the Compass burns oil and service is at 4500. Really? isn't that something you should be told before leasing or buying that it is known for going through oil? He also had no idea why I did not get a call for service. Dont the 2018's come with an indicator when an oil change is needed? He was confused. I'm trusting my car to someone who isn't sure.
My question is, has anyone been told the Compass burns through oil? Does the Compass have an indicator for when an oil change is needed? Or do we have to guess when its' needed or just assume every 4500mi...
Anyone go through the same issue?
While I like the way the jeep handles, if this is truly going to be an ongoing issue I would never buy a Jeep and will be looking to get out of the lease as soon as I can.
