I have had my car since 07/20 and kept up with my oil changes and once I got used to my car I noticed me having to put more oil after my oil changes and been doing and it's now 02/2023 I also changed the pcv valve and still my car is consuming oil and it's very costly and I'm scared it might break down on me cuz I've been hearing a clicking noise from my engine also overheats sometimes my car just doesn't sound right I took it to dealership in 2022 and basically told me to go back when the wheels fall off and my car was okay.
They didn't detect any problems but my car burns a lot of oil and they tell me my car is okay my car is not okay.
