My co-worker has a '10 CRV with almost 70k, and since November has started losing oil at a quick pace. She's never been one to check oil, she claims she's owned three cars, and has never checked oil with a dipstick, only brings it in for an oil change by following the OLM....or Jiffy Lube stickers before OLMs came about. Recently the oil pressure light has been coming on, and she's been dumping in oil a quart at a time, and it seems to last around 500-800 miles. The car has always seen 5k oil changes at the Honda Dealer. There is occasionally a slight sucking/whirring sound at start-up that lasts a second or two after it's been sitting all night, but once it's running she claims it sounds like normal, drives normal. As the car is paid off, she really doesn't want to get rid of it, but doesn't want to buy a motor either. She took it to a local Gas Station repair place, they found no leaks, told her to get rid of it before something really goes bad. I don't trust those guys to check the air in my tires, let alone diagnose an engine. Once she finds a reputable place, what will they likely check for on this car?
