99 Maxima engine rattle + oil burn
 

Hello everyone,

My car is a Nissan Maxima 1999, it burns a lot of oil.

What usually happens is this: i'll be driving, randomly i'll step on the gas, only to feel a loss of power, the engine will make a rattling sound, then a lot of oil will be exhausted.

I'm never able to reproduce the problem for my mechanic, which is annoying.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Cp
