My car is warning low oil. I checked the oil and is empty!:o The car is not generating any smoke which indicates oil burning and there are no oil marks on the floor. I changed the oil approx 10k before, synthetic oil which I was planning to do an oil change next week. Mileage on this car is...

Thanks in advance for your help sorting this out I have owned this car for 1 year. Current mileage is 157,000. Not long after purchasing, the check oil light illuminated and since then I have been watching the oil level closely. Currently I am adding 1-2 quarts every 1000 miles. No leaks...

Hi there, this is for a MY01 Aero Wagon with 165K bought a Turbo from a popular shop on ebay because I was burning a lot of oil, about a quart every 500 miles. It runs relatively well but a whistle under WOT. Smokes entering the red on the guage. Not to bad at start up. I initially though it...

I'll start the bidding with a full Gallon over 1500 miles. I'm dumbfounded and at the moment don't know where it is going - though I suspect the turbo and it's eloquent whistling is the culprit. I've not got leaks either.....nor does it smoke. Along with the now enormous gluttony of issues I...
