the magical dissapering oil

I have a '87 4runner w/191,000 miles on it. The runner cann't hold any oil for more than a couple of weeks. The runner doesn't leak and there are no smoke when I drive. I am dumbfounded by this. Does anyone know where the oil is goin.

Here is a shot at it.

I had an old chevy truck that had the disappearing
oil thing.

I tried everything, then was told to change the
pcv valve and it solved the problem.

It may not be your problem but worth a shot

Disappearing Oil

I heard the same thing about the oil and the PCV valve. I have about 3 quarts of missing oil, and it shocked me.

I need to find out, and quick!

See my other post in the 4runner section!
