My 2005 escape is burning oil. about 3 quarts

Blown head gasket.

IT BURNED THE THREE QUARTS OUT THE TAILPIPE IN BLUE SMOKE. CHECK THE PVC. OPEN THE RADIATOR CAP WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD AND LOOK FOR THE PROPER COLOR OF THE COOLANT. SPARK PLUGS ARE FOULED BY OIL

Engine needs an oil treatment. Rings could be losing compression. Rislone.

Get a compression check at a modern shop.

that is a really good deal..it would cost you almost that much to buy the oil and filter to do it yourself

Look on the ground where you park it. That much oil has to be a leak. Don't let it get 2 quarts down. Check it more often. Use thicker oil. Like 10-40 instead of 5-30. You could even try 20-50.

It is not normal for a car with 29,000 miles on it to consume this amount of oil in 10,000 miles. We usually change our oil between 3 and 5 thousand miles and thus may not notice small amounts consumed but certainly not 1-2 quarts. It is more likely that you are leaking oil, but if it is burning it, that is a real problem. If the car was pre-owned do a CARFAX. If it was wrecked, find out was was done. If the odometer is correct, this car needs to be inspected by a professional. I can tell you to look for unburned oil in the tailpipe, smoking exhuast, leaks from the oil pan and drain. Change the oil and filter and closely monitor the level.

Burning Oil!!! If its not burning carbon deposits and choking on an intake blockage. Both will cause severe power loss, though intake blockage is not an immediate sign of fatal engine problems. Power loss due to oil burning is a symptom of warn out piston rings and cylinder walls. This allows oil to seep up into the combustion chamber which at the same time allows the needed fuel/air compression to escape between the piston rings and cylinder walls. Either way, this is NOT a good symptom to experience. You may confirm or rule out the worn out internal engine components by checking the oil dip-stick for fresh gasoline odor......I would strongly advise you take your car to a reputable mechanic or dealership. And I'm really sorry, but as much as I love Jaguars, parts are EXPENSIVE! Your monetary health might suffer less had you even owned a Ferrari

Is it really burning blue smoke out the exhaust or leaking out all the wrong places like valve covera and front and rear seals? There is no solution here except find out the cause of the loss and fix it.

This problem sounds like ablown head gasket, this would make the oil mix in with the gas and would result in discolored smoke out of the exhaust pipe.
