There's only 5 ways it can use oil, 1 - past worn rings 2 - past the valve seals 3 - leaks (gaskets or seals or damaged oil pan etc) 4 - sucked thru bad PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve 5 - bad cylinder head gasket leaking oil into coolant or cylinder. these are not in any particular order, I would start with the PCV and checking for leaks (may be other odd/rare ways, like cracked head or block, but we don't want to thinkl about those) |
