| Description of the problem | I was driving home and car was making a noise. Sounded like a truck. I check the oil and it was very low and dark. It had recently got an oil change. I put in 3 quarts and then it was at the right level. It stopped making the noise. But i smell gas from the tailpipe. This was before it sounded like a truck. I stepped on thee gas and the car barely moves. Then the check engine light showed up it was misfire codes multiple cylinder. I hear a loud hissing sound like a turbo or some sort of exhaust leak. Bad mileage burns a quart of oil every two days. The transmission does not shift too and it misfires |
