Why is my engine oil so low?
Is your oil level low between oil changes? Your engine may be burning oil thanks to worn piston rings. Your engine could also be leaking oil thanks to a bad gasket or cracked part. Or you could be losing oil through the head gasket into the cooling system.
Why does my Hyundai Sonata have a low oil level?
But, a low oil level does not necessarily indicate that you are burning oil. It could be leaking out of the engine. If you normally park your Sonata in one place, look under it and see if there is any fluid under the engine. This could indicate that the oil is exiting through the seals, and not through the combustion chamber.
How much oil should I put in my Hyundai Sonata?
A qt a 1000 miles seems very excessive. Dealer said that you need to be at 1. 5 qt per 1000 which would be almost no oil when I go have an oil change. The vehicle is only 3 years old and 100000 miles. This seems like too much oil to be burnt. And they know they have engine issues and will not rectify.

When to replace PCV valve on Hyundai Sonata?
I’m critical of the oil & lube establishment for not suggesting replacement of the PCV valve the first time the vehicle came in low on oil.

In fact it really can be normal for an engine to use oil at this rate.
