While running the engine burns through oil very quickly. Engine does not warn that oil is low but begins to run 'roughly' when oil is needed. I add oil every couple of weeks in between actual oil changes. I only discovered this problem when I took the car in for maintenance and my mechanic told me that there was zero oil in it and he was surprised that the engine was even running at all.
Car burns through oil. No leaks, just burns oil. When oil is empty, no check oil light comes on. Must add oil constantly. My mechanic said I had 'no oil' in my engine during my last check. He filled it up and then I decided to check it myself a couple of months later and the same thing is happening.
Rattles upon acceleration, burning excessive oil. No oil leaks. Indicator light does no come on until the oil is almost completely gone and rattling upon acceleration is the warning!!!.
