Consumer Description

The car started burning oil excessively and I did not know it. I’ve always kept up with my oil changes and was never informed that my oil was low or anything. The engine basically blew up with only 96,000 miles on it. There was zero oil in when the mechanic looked at it. I was not even due for an oil change.
