Hi there,

i would do an oil consumption test first, change the oil and filter, check that the level is correct set trip meter to 0, and drive normally for km check the oil if low but safe leave, drive another 500Km's re check measure amount of oil needed to bring back to the full mark, see what the consumption is and report back your findings.
