“Takata recall I am at 130,000 miles and there is no oil leaking, but every time I get an oil change it just disappears. Even if I'm not driving 1000 mi/month, it is completely dry within a few weeks of getting an oil change. I have to constantly put oil in my car in between oil changes every 3 months.”
