I change my oil every 3-4k miles. When I do some random checks in between changes, I don't see any oil on the dipstick. So I add a quart and it comes up into range. I have also noticed that when draining the oil, I don't seem to get much out...less than I expected.
I have no stains on my driveway and don't see any stains or wetness on the underside of car....and I have not noticed more exhaust smoke.
Never had to add oil in between oil changes to other cars that I've owned in the past. Do these cars burn more oil? say a quart every few thousand miles?
or does this sound like a more serious issue?
btw, car is manual transmission, 45k miles, and I tow a small trailer with it in the summertime.
Thanks
