My nissan sentra has been using excessive oil.
I had an oil chang done 1500 miles ago and had them find out whats going on. they could find no oil leak. He could find no evidense of a leak. He said everything was dry. I took the pan down etc,.
Now 1500 miles later im out of oil again. any idea?

If not leaking must be being burnt internal. Check air cleaner for oil also PCV it will suck oil out if faulty. That leaves the oil ring could be coked up .
