Hmmm....yea but thats 3k. Shes saying she doesnt drive much. But like you said it depends how much oil its low.

Personally I would start by seeing how much oil your loosing and how many miles your driving between that time and when it was full. Look for leaks first. If you dont see anything, then its going somewhere and that somewhere is most likely your combustion chamber. Best thing to do at that point is a compression and leakdown and even then you might not be 100% sure where its going.
