| Description of the problem | Engine oil is disappearing. No leaks to be found. Exhaust clean, no oil burn smoke. While driving engine made tapping noise. Checked oil dipstick an found no oil showing. Added 2 qts.... I change oil every 5,ooo miles. I changed oil and filter and checked the oil after 2k miles and had to add another quart. Car has 119k miles now. I have worked on engines of all sorts for 50yrs, and this puzzles me. I see no evidence of why or how the oil is disappearing. |
