BG Astina 1.8 SOHC i have to refill the oil every 2 months but have NFI where it is going,there are no visible leaks on the ground or around engine and the car is not burning any oil and the low oil light does not come on when running low

i'd say it's run off to fiji.

or it is burning it and you ain't realizing it. how many kilometers are you doing in the 2 months of driving before each refill? and how many litres do you refill each time?

if its not leaking and there is no sign of oil in your cooling system then its burning it

is it burning at such a rate bad? how can you stop it from burning so much?
