burning oil quickly and bad gas mileage

[tech9]

My cars been eating up oil quickly, and my gad mileage is significantly lower than it used to be.

I've been told different things such as valve damage, or that I just need valve adjustment. Anyone else have this problem or know what issue it might be?

have you checked to make sure you're not in a volkswagen? :mtongue:

lol jk. are you throwing any codes? if not i'd start with a valve adjustment, some injector cleaner in your next tank, and an oil change.

for like 4 bucks its worth a try i think. valve adjustment will probably give you the best results though

Spark plugs, fresh oil (stay away from 5w-20 and try synthetic if you're not using it already), fresh trans fluid, air filter, tire pressure (assuming you still have decent tread left), suspension alignment (assuming your shocks aren't blown), valve adjustment. All the little things add up so start there if your check engine light isn't on. How quickly are you burning your oil?
