Vauxhall Tigra oil

Car: Vauxhall Tigra
Variant: 1.6
Model Year: 1999
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
my engine is making like a knocking noise and the oil needs replacing every few months i do lots a miles weekly i have it serviced yearly and its done 64000 miles it sometimes over revs and can be slow at pulling away. Want to know how often oil needs topping up as I find its every few months when my light comes on

should be checking oil and water levels weekly and top up where required but with you doing high miles the valve stem oil seals are common for going which will result in burning oil hence you having to top the oil up more than required
