Good tip! If your engine is burning up oil and has no leaks, our oil will help stop consumption. Always check your oil level and make sure it is topped off so buy an extra quart as over time oil level may go down. If your car burns up more oil than normal then switch up the brand and try Amsoil. Check for leaks as well to prevent oil loss.
