New 09 xB Owner..
Hi,
I just bought an 09 xB in October. Blackberry Crush with a 5 speed manual. I only paid $3,700 for it but it drove great and everything worked so I was afraid there was either a problem with the Title or it had some hidden flaw. Turns out it’s
an oil burner. The dipstick was dry after a 300 mile drive. Because it’s an 09 it’s too old to qualify for the piston and ring replacement program, but fortunately a piston soak and switching to 10w-30 synthetic has made a major improvement.
