Do older cars burn oil regularly?
This is a broad question, but under ideal circumstances, no engine should burn oil. The age and periodical care of an engine will greatly affect how it runs and retains its fluids. As an engine gets older, scratches and pots in the cylinder walls can form if it is not taken care of properly and allow oil into the comustion chamber on the down stroke, thus causing oil burn. If an old engine is burning oil, this is likely the case. (or it could be a worn head gasket) So, noramly a little is expected, but more than half a quart being burnt every 3000 miles is excessive.
Why would a 1993 Plymouth Voyager be burning oil?
Well, it is normal for older vehicles to develop some leaks (small) and for most cars to burn oil (1/2 qt every three months). However, it sounds like you should really talk to your oil changer and ask them what oil they are using and what the old oil looks like. If it has water, coolant, or has a big leak you need to look at repair/replacement.
Why do cars use oil to run?
