i wish i knew, trying to find someone who will tell me exactly what it needs, besides the dealer, too much oil consumption, 108k miles. 1/2 quart every 200-300 miles..

ok, so dealership wants $5100 to replace engine, with a used 70k engine with 12m warranty.

$3400 for engine, $1700 for labor ($125/hr x 13 hrs)

seems a lot for a 70k engine.
