| Description of the problem | I took my car for an oil change at 85 thousand miles to a local mechanic , and i was told that my card did not have much oil, of course i blamed them, i thought they were lying. I always have my oil change every 5 thousand miles and did not have a problem before. I took the car to be inspected by another mechanic; he found no oil leaks. The mechanic told me that the problem is with piston rings and it will cost me a lot to fix it. Since i cannot effort to get it fix right now, i been adding at least a 1. 5 quarter of oil every 2,000 miles. On december 2012 i had problems with 4 front struts leaking and water pump.
