so the last couple times i went go get my oil changed, the service guy says that i had no measurable amount of oil. Since i have no leaks, I am almost certain my car is burning oil. Does anyone know why this is happening? I am using mobile 1 5w-30, do you think i should switch to a 10w-40 or something even thicker?

i know that my 99 wrx has a slight oil leak which i have been told is from the cam seals, it drips onto the exhaust and burns off but that is only under hard boost or highway driving, although i dont really even see a drop in the oil level at all.

Some cars eat oil,some don't. Sometimes switching toa 5w-40 helps or just a different oil period. I used to burn some oil on 5w-30 Mobil and leak at the seals. Switched to 5w-30 Castor oil and burned less and stopped leaking. Also you could try getting a compression test. Poor compression would = lots of oil blowby.
