Greetings all.
Among other minor inconveniences, I informed Volvo service that my '15.5 T6 xc70 burns 1 quart oil per 2,500 miles. Mileage at this time was 63,000. The 60,000 mile service was completed four months prior at 57,500 miles. The Certified Pre-Owned vehicle was purchased ten months prior at which time the 50,000 mile service was completed (oil change included). The tech appeared to have heard this complaint before.

Although the oil additive is much cheaper than a piston ring overhaul job I was not informed I would be charged for this service. Additionally, Volvo
Although I own the vehicle, I am not the cause of this problem. I believe the $170 should be returned to me. Thoughts on recourse I might pursue?
Moreover, this engine has an oil consumption problem, right? By comparison, my '05 xc70 barely burned oil and did not require additives or restoration kits in the thirteen years I owned it. I realize the '05 has a different engine.
I feel I was sold a defective vehicle. Your thoughts on this?
