In my ford truck for the past few months have been loosing oil. I have replaced my oil twice and have placed an engine cleaner. It seams to me to get worse. With in the past two week when I check the oil level it will be down to close to a quarter on the dip stick. I have checked under my car to see about drips and have not seen anything. I have also checked my raditior to see if any oil was floating. Nothing came up. My question is what other problems does my car have that is causing my car to loss oil?

Hi there,

if it is not leaking externally it must be burning it, have some one follow you and check for excessive exhaust smoke, some times if you just keep topping up and don't change the oil oil it will break down and burn quicker, also you can up the weight of the oil you are using,
