Hey fellow car enthusiasts, my car seems to be burning oil. After about 7000 km on full synthetic oil, the dipstick shows it's almost at the minimum level 😭. This has happened in the last two maintenance sessions. It's a 2017 Jeep Compass with 120,000 km over 6 years. Has anyone else experienced engine oil burning, and how did you resolve or repair it?

7Does your 1.6 naturally aspirated engine consume oil too? Mine has only run about 90,000 kilometers, and after the last maintenance, I drove less than 2,000 kilometers before the oil light came on. When I checked the oil dipstick, it couldn't even reach the oil level.

The warning flashed briefly and disappeared when I returned to a flat road. When I checked the dipstick, the oil level was very low. I just had maintenance done 1,000 kilometers ago. How should I repair this situation with a 1.6 naturally aspirated engine?
