Mrs' '99 !.25 petrol Fiesta using/losing oil...

Can anyone shed any light on the rate my mrs Fiesta uses / loses oil? I can't see any leaks so I assume she's burning oil. She neglects to check it, and it went below the low mark on the dipstick a couple of times. She bought "oil" from a petrol station, probably not the recommended type. It runs fine other than that.

I wonder if an oil change and replacement with the right stuff would sort it.

Thanks for any input!

Mrk

that engine is usually very good (oil consumption wise) If it has not had correct servicing then they do wear out the rings, replacement is usually uneconomic). If it runs ok then just keep using it and keep a check on the oil between services. use only ford 5w30 oil. and change it every year as a minimum.
