Quest

is that used car of yours suffering from mechanical issues? Can you run it a few more years to recoup the cost?

older vehicles tend to cost less in insurance, and provided that it's still mechanically sound, then all it ever needs should just be the standard, if not basic maintenance stuff (brakes, gas, tires, batteries, lightbulbs, oil changes, a bit of tune up every now and then)....

Newer cars suffer from serious depreciation the moment you bought them....and then the insurance costs, etc. the only thing good is that you start with a fresh new car with fresh new mechanicals (transmissions, brakes,etc.)...

Sounds like seal leaks to me...so definitely try using High Mileage oil (comes with seal sweller) and see if it lessens the oil loss.

Good to know that it still passe air care (so oil leaks from seals are considered relatively easy to fix,unlike worn engine (burns oil) which requires a complete overhaul to get the problem resolved.

Do you get a pool of oil on your garage floor or?

Based on your description here (and what 4Litres of top up oil every 4 weeks of driving?), your engine is burning oil.

In that case: I'd either scrap it or sell it online for 500bux (pizza delivery guys like it, so long as it passes aircare).

* I know air care will fold by the end of this year, but hey! It's still a selling point, right?
