But at only 131K that car probably has a lot of life left in it (assuming you didn't get a tranny with bad carrier bearings).
No visable oil burn or residue on the tailpipe, but the consumption is more like quart every 300-500 moles or so. High mileage oil seems to help. Is there any quick fix to try?
