| Description of the problem | Uses oil!! I heard a rattle or a chattering noise form the engine on light acceleration. Checked engine oil it was low. Put about 1-1. 5qts in. Fixed problem. Next oil change about 1500-2000 miles into the oil change heard same thing. Again low oil repeated last process. Changed oil and again about 1500-2000 miles into the oil change same problem. There isn't a leak one any wear out side the engine must be leaking past the rings and into the cylinders and being burnt. If not caught in time will eventually lead to engine failure which means no power steering no power brakes, caught in traffic, or out in the middle of no wear. |
