3,000 miles after a dealer service, oil light came on. dealer topped up with 0.9 litres, is this excessive? Car has only done 33,,000 miles and has full dealer service history
Several ideas.
1) When the dealer completed servicing it, did you check the oil to see if it was full? If it wasn't it would need added oil sooner.
2) .9 litre does sound excessive, but what was it using before?
3) Find a way to give the bottom side of your Toy a really good flashlight inspection to look for leaks and seepage.
This should give you a clue as to what is going on.
If it is dry underneath, someone needs to check the oil weekly until a pattern is established of oil usage.
Be blessed.

Consider getting this info on ADDING Hydrogen power to your fuel. Raises fuel mileage 25% to 50%+.

Imagine if it works - raise your fuel mileage to 21+ in stop n go driving, up tp 35+, maybe 40 mpg with a steady low cruise on the highway, at 60-62 mph.
only costs $170-$200 if you can do it yourself, if you can change pcv / oxygen sensors / plugs / fuel filters, YOU can do it.
Else, pay a mechanic an extra $200 for 2 hours work for him/her to install in 45 minutes.

SOURCE: Power problem
it is a performance problem which is so widely ignored however here is a tip the throttle position sensor is going bad, what i call as a flat spot it takes a 5 - 6 seconds before you can feel the power on acceleration? check the tps switch, mounted on the throttle body secondly make sure if the vehicle has a EGR valve make sure that it does not open on acceleration the best way to test this is to temporarly disconnect the EGR and see if this solves the problem if it does then just replace the EGR control modulator!!
SOURCE: car jerks when slowing down or stopped, CEL on
You said it all. When a car jerks it means it is not firing as expected which could be due to fuel pressure not adequate, air intake not enough or too much, sparks not been produce at the right time or engine management problems (sensors etc). from what you said i would start with locating the source of the oil consumption. If there is visible oil around the engine, this might not be cause of the jerking. If the oil leaks is not visible it could be due to cylinder\piston wear. Dirty air filter, spark plugs, plugged fuel filter and bad spark plug cable could also cause jerking so you might want to consider giving your car a tune up also
