Hi, everyone, I got a 95 ST 1.8L, everything stock, I have a question, how come my engine always eats up motor oil?? I put in 4 qts of motor oil in, and after 2,500 to 3000 miles when I change oil again, only about 1 qt left in the tank? anyone know what's the reason? how much cost to fix it? can I do it myself?? thanx to allk~

A compression check will not tell you any thing because oil rings are below your compression rings. And most of all and I would almost put money on it that it is your valve seals. and I actually called a machine shop today b/c my car is doing the same thing and it was going to be around 450-500 just to have the valves done and p&p and open up some pockets. your prolly lookin at 250-300 in labor too so grand total is under 800. Good Luck
