Using Oil
 
2001 Pontiac Aztek. 53,000 miles. Car is driven about 8500 miles per year. Car is using oil. No leaks on the ground. Go to Jiffy Lube, get oil changed, 1 1/2 months later the "low oil level" light comes on. Check oil and sure enough, nothing on the dipstick. In the "old days" the obvious answer is rings, but with these modern, computerized cars, was just hoping it might be something else. 53,000 miles and needing a rebuild just doesn't seem right. The last oil change, I used "high mileage vehicle" oil. No change. Any suggestions? OBDII says nothing wrong. - Thanks
