There is a constant problems with oil in this car for the past year. I get oil changes every 3 months on time.
Within 30 days I have to put more oil in the car. It's leaking somewhere because I've had to replace about 6 spark plugs. My car starts shaking and the engine was knocking the other day. I have to recently replace 3 spark plugs, and get 4 quarts of oil. This engine is not good.
