The car is burning oil at an accelerated rate which causes a warning when the oil life is around 40 to 50% that the engine has low oil level.

My wife was driving, I was in the front passenger seat and we smelled rubber burning next we noticed smoke from the hood area. We pulled over turned on the flashers and opened the hood and smoke came out heavy and I saw a fire at the bottom of engine area.we called 911 and a fire truck put out the flames.
