Q: It's a Nissan Altima I think it's like a 2006-9 but the service engine soon light is on . And I think it might be low on oil . But
I think I have a few problems with my car From it smelling like something is burning in the front too my gas gauge meter not being accurate I feel like I'm putting more gas than I should
My car has 20000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
You will need to have the burning smell checked to see if you have oil leaks. The gas gauge not working is most likely the fuel sender in the fuel tank is not working correctly and will need to be verified it is the cause.
