Hi,

My car uses a lot of oil, but it runs fine. I commute for work and am driving about 700 km's a week. What o you think the problem could be?

The oil is probably being pushed into the combustion chamber and being burnt away. If it is a small leak, then you will see no smoke signs. Could be caused by cracked head gasket, valve guides, piston rings.
