Consumer Description

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.
