This is my first 3-wheeler and changed oil filter and oil after getting it. Didn't have a manual and asked online type of oil to use and was told 10w-30. I put a quart in about a month or 2 ago and when riding yesterday could smell something burning. I stopped and could see engine seemed hot. When I checked oil it was almost out. It's not leaking oil anywhere so how would it get used up so fast? I let her cool and added another quart of oil. I took her out about an hour later and it seemed like I was having problems with shifting gears and it stalled and wasn't able to get it started again. Am I using the wrong oil type, which isn't cooling the engine enough and isn't lubricating my clutch/gears? Kids are bummed unable to ride until I get it fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated........thx
