Have you looked under your car? If the car is leaking oil, the entire underside should be plastered if it lost 4 qts. If the underside is clean, you're either burning it, or the clowns that did your oil change forgot to put in all of the oil. When you got the oil done, did you put in the standard oil,or did you tell them to use synthetic? Once you filled up the oil, did the car start again?
