#define SARCASM Well gee, it's hard to tell if it's snake oil based on that description. The critical fact you didn't specify is, of course, what color candles you need to burn on the points of the pentacle surrounding the car. You did read the instructions that tell you to draw a pentacle with sidewalk chalk and sacrifice a chicken before using the product, right? #undef SARCASM
Many rational replies--but, please listen to Ashton Crusher!!! I've bought/sold 1000's of cars(was my livelihood) and Ashton's advice was what I(while still in school) gave my dad on a car he'd bought from his neighbor. It had spent its life, altho' low miles, going from home to office; then to post office; then back home. Short drives can ruin engines. Nonetheless, it gave my dad 4 years of troublefree service by adding gas when needed, AND adding oil when needed. Meanwhile, save your money into a car-replacement fund. HTH & good luck. s
Okay, that's probably just valve guide seals. It's at least worth popping the valve covers to see. That's a fairly easy repair job, compared with an actual oil-burning problem.
