1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue LS review from North America
"The 3.5 V-6 in this car is not right considering the care it has been given and I would buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased the car from the original owner and she said that the oil was changed every 3000 miles, but, since I bought it I am adding a quart of oil every 1800 miles. Also, there is a clunking sound coming from the left front end when the steering wheel is turned hard to the right or left.
General comments?
I have owned many, many cars during the last 39 years that I have been buying and driving cars and this vehicle is using an excessive amount of oil when you consider the low miles on the engine. I enjoy the comfort of the olds intrigue, but, I am concerned about the oil consumption and the feel of the steering.
