Question eating oil!

I have a 88gxl n/a with 4000 miles on a new engien. The car runs great and starts every morning never had any problems with it. The only thing I ran into was the car seems to need 2 or 3 quarts around every 900 miles I put on it. I know that this car burns oil naturally but this much? Oh the guy i bought it from gave me proof of the new engien with the bill and all the paper work on it so what ya think?

How many rotors do you have?



Look under your car for trails of oil. Sometimes it will leak when running and the oil will run back under the car.
