Default Oil Problems

Hey I just got my car back and they told me that my car is burning oil pretty fast. What can I do to fix this problem.

If you dont have a leak somewhere, you need to do a compression test. You could have bad pistonrings and that would both eat oil and kill power.

Yep - you need to narrow it down some. Is your valve cover gasket leaking? Do you see drips on the pavement after the car's been parked? What kind of symptoms do you notice (if any) while driving? Fill us in on anything you can and you'll be able to get more help.
