OKAY,
So I have had an oil consumption issue for a while, but it has been a small one. So small that I was told by my mechanic not to worry about it. (I would go through a quart of 10/40 every 2 months or so)
SOO, after my last oil change, (put in 20'/50) I have had to put in a new quart about every month and a half, this last time seems less. (oil light just came on yesterday)
SOO, what can I look for to trouble shoot this. I recently learned how to drive my car a bit more aggressively than before, so that might account for some of the consumption, but a quart in that short of a period??
thanks guys, I want to look somewhat informed when I take it to the mechanic. OR if it isn't too intricate a problem, I can take it to the little mechanic down the street who does just general stuff for me, and is MUCH less expensive than my BMW guy.
Thanks!
