Well the car has been getting about 700-800 miles a quart, maybe a bit more, im not for sure, but the problem is that i had checked the oil the week before and it was normal, then a week later the check oil light comes on, now that ISNT normal. I mean i reallly dont think my car could burn a quart of oil in a week. and i didnt drive an excessive distance either, nothing more than the usual which is about 100 miles a week or a bit less. i just hope there isnt anything wrong with the internals of the engine, but its running fine and there isnt any smoke comming out the exhaust or anything. any ideas?
