I have 221xxx miles on my car I use synthetic oil. I burn through oil to say the least. Example I changed my oil yesterday and drained out less than 2 quarts. Should I just go back to Dino oil? I only had 100 miles off till I hit 3000 between changes plus I added 1 quart. Maybe the synthetic Burns faster?I live in FL
So its hot out...maybe thicker oil? Anyone experience major oil burn? What oil works best 7afe? |

Yeah, suggest a really thin oil when he's burning oil...
Use a 10w30 or 10w40. You're in a climate that is always above freezing. Our cars take a higher viscosity oil and over the years, especially with your case, since you're burning, you need to raise the oil thickness. In the summer with that many miles, I would be running a 10w40. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles. Project car 1992 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE 170k Miles.
