    You can also try to replace your PCV with an oil catch can. Opinions are varied on it's effectiveness but I've been running one on the Amigo for a year now and seem to burn less oil.

    It's weird. When I first bought mine i only had to add about a 1/4 every fill up so... 250 miles. I've owned it for a just a little over a year and has progressively gotten worse. To the point of I almost want to get rid of it. randomly though it won't use any. Such as I checked it monday and had to add a 1/2qt. Then it went down about a 1/4 from the full like on the dip stick (didn't add any oil) and it stayed there the next two days, then thursday I had to add a 1/3 of a qt and then 1/4qt this morning. My driving distance or style didn't change at all though. I'd love to take a road trip in it, but scared to lol. Now if I could put in an oil level sensor in the pan and then a fill tube in the glove box so I can fill it while driving... I'd be okay lol.

    Find and fix the leak this is way more than the typical oil burning.
