Description of the problem | My vehicle has been burning oil at an alarming rate - i have to add a quart of oil every few hundred miles, on top of being diligent about changing my oil every 3,000 miles (fully synthetic too). When i do not add a quart of oil every 10 days or so, my car stalls while idling, knocks, and/or rides "rough". I've also noticed the engine idles lower than normal. If i press on the gas lightly, the car will stall. If i press on the gas with more pressure, the car will shift into 2nd gear earlier than normal and roughly (if that makes sense). I've had the car into the mechanic 4 times for same issue. |
