How often do you change your oil? I mean pull the plug and change filter not fill up when it's empty and making noise
That seems a little excessive to me. I changed the oil every 12k kms and sometimes the car would take 1/2l(qt) between changes. The engine has almost 386k kms(240k miles).
Check your air filter and spark plugs, they're probably caked in oil. Your catalytic converter will probably be plugging up too. Do you have smoke/excessive pressure if you remove your oil cap with the engine running?

Hello everybody!
@Roy did you find the issue? Would be nice to know. I would like to ask to everybody if your dealership puts more oil than Full in the dipstick? In 4 services I need to remove after each service 0.5 liters from engine to have it in the dipstick full mark. This was in Portugal. Not sure why they make this but is just stupid or maybe intentional!?

The worrisome thing is that different mechanics done the same thing. I think they just put 3 liters and do not check the level.
When they called by phone after the first service to ask about my level of satisfaction I have talked about this problem. And guess what? Nothing changed.
This was the last service that I made there (just because to keep warranty). What I made all the times was to get home, let the car cool down and then use a small hose in the dipstick tube and with a "soap" pump I took out the excess of oil.
My conclusion is when we bought a used car that was always serviced in a dealership garage that doesn't mean that the maintenance was done in the best way

Sorry to hear about your troubles edPower. Are there any other dealerships in your area that you can go to?
When I tried to take my car into the dealership for warranty work in Mentor where I live, the dealership would have no part in me driving my car up to them so I had to go to another dealership an hour away. Two times I called Mentor Mitsubishi to have them take a look at my car and Twice they told me I was "wasting their time" and they had more important customers to attend to. So I went to Sunnyside Mitsubishi instead and they worked everything out.

Oh That is really bad... It is annoying when the dealership just want to sell you the car and then treat you bad when you need their "support". It is a really good way to not buy again in the same place... on the end they will get the payback.
I will start doing the oil changes at home after the warranty end. On my previous cars I did it at home and that is not hard. For "harder" things I know a mechanic that will do what I need. I will follow the maintenance plan that comes with the user manual anyway.
