Burning alot of oil

[992door]

Changed my oil about 2000 miles ago. I checked my oil today and it is about 2 quarts low. No external leaks that I can see. What can I do to slow it done or stop it from burning so much. It has 180000 miles on it

if you have no leaks and don't see white smoke out of your tail I would top it off and start and stop your engine, re-verify the level again and once again later on. perhaps a mistake was made when changed last. Also if you have an engine cooler that runs thru a radiator tank look at your coolant for evidence of a cross-leak.

Alright I will check that. But there is no white smoke out of the tail pipe but the inside is black I guess from running rich

maybe but over time any tailpipe will get sooty on the inside.

When I changed my oil about a month ago, I was very surprised when I went under to get the bucket. There was only 2 quarts in the bucket. I couldnt believe it.
I was wondering the same thing. Where could the oil be going? I dont have any leaks either and am curious to know why it is burning oil. Any suggestions?

Make sure your PCV valve is working.. Its cheap insurance to just buy a new one.

you might have to have the valve seals replaced, i know im going to need to do that on mine shortly.
