hi guys, i have a 1997 mitsubishi eclipse gs automatic. and its been the burning the oil at least every two weeks. why is that??Why does my 1997 mitsubishi eclipse burn the oil?
Mostly because it is almost 12 years old, probably has quite a few miles on it, and because it is a sporty car, it has most likely been ragged out pretty bad.
If you bought it used, then god only knows how the previous owner drove and maintained it.
Regular maintenance (oil changes, filters, etc.) is necessary to keep a car running right over the long term - a lot of people neglect to do this, and then unload the car on an unwitting person.
If you really like the car, maybe ask around friends and family if anyone knows a good mechanic - and have them take a look at it. It probably won't be cheap though.
Good luck.Why does my 1997 mitsubishi eclipse burn the oil?
Valve guides are worn and oil is leaking into the combustion chamber
