Please don't waste your money on gm trucks,2013 with 42000 miles, one quart per 1000 miles, GM will go broke if they stood behind their 5.3 oil burning engines. Traded a 2001 in that had 200,000 miles, used 20/50 Castrol, didn't use any oil, now I am checking oil way too often, is there any way to make GM fix this truck?

This on going issue due to oil consumption on the 5.3 afm system - it causes lifter failure and in turn marred the cam. There should be a recall. Has anyone had luck on getting GM to cover this??
