| Description of the problem | Since i purchased the rav4 i notice the engine oil was burning out very quickly causing me to run the car on almost no oil. Warning lights only came on when there was no more oil in car. I'm putting in 1 to 3 quarts of oil every two to three months. I have to check oil every week. Took car to dealership told me i had a oil leak but since i did not see any oil leaking at all i got a second opinion and found out about the stuck oil rings that cause catalytic converter. |
