Excessive oil consumption due to faulty piston rings, PCV system sucking oil into intake, and oil spray jets forcing more oil past the faulty piston rings. So much oil consumption is taking place that waiting to change the oil at 3000 miles left me with no oil in my oil reservoir and massive amounts of oil sludge buildup in my crank case. It's only a matter of time before the entire engine seizes while driving.
