| Description of the problem | I have properly maintained my vehicle since i purchased it. Tuesday i headed to work and the oil light came on. I pulled over to the gas station to check it. I had no oil in my car. I just had an oil change less than two weeks prior. I the proceeded to put three quarts in my car. The oil light went out. I took it back to texas oil later that day and told them what happened. They checked it and told me the oil was full for the moment. I was told to come back and have it check the following day. I couldn't get there on weds, i went thursday. The car was low two quarts of oil. They checked the car both times for an oil leak. No leak. The next day i took it to my mechanic at firestone and he checked the oil, filled it up and told me to come back the next day and he would check it out really good. I went today and i had almost no oil. One quart. He checked the car. No oil leaks. He said the car looked really good for its age. There were no leaks and no explanation for the oil consumption. He told me it needed an engine. I was also told there was a possibility the engine could just shut down on me. That scared me. I work in home health. I drive my car to client's homes. I am afraid of a fire or something worse happening while i am driving. |
