Q: Changing oil on a 2006 BMW E92

asked by on May 03, 2016

I have a BMW E92, 2006; 6 feet automatic. It has 78,000 miles on the clock. It uses one quart of oil every 24,000 miles. Once in a while, it uses one quart in 750 miles and I haven't changed the oil at 6,000 miles. What do you think I should do?
