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? |

Synthetic shouldn't burn faster. It is much more resilient to burning unless its blowing pass the rings pretty bad.
