Your 2007 Chevy impala uses 1 quart of oil between changes?

Using 1 quart of oil between oil changes in a 2007 Chevy Impala is not necessarily a cause for immediate alarm, but it warrants attention. While some minor oil consumption is normal, a quart between changes (assuming your changes are at the recommended interval) is on the higher side and suggests a potential problem.

Possible causes include:

* Worn piston rings: This is a common cause of oil burning in older engines.

* Valve stem seals: These seals can wear out, allowing oil to leak into the combustion chamber.

* Leaking valve cover gasket: This wouldn't directly burn oil, but would lead to oil loss.

* Other leaks: Oil leaks from the engine or transmission can contribute to low oil levels.

It's crucial to have a mechanic diagnose the issue. Continuing to drive with low oil can cause significant engine damage. Ignoring this could lead to costly repairs down the road.
