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? |

I don't really think synthetic will help stop the oil passing the rings. I had that problem before I had my engine rebuilt and tried everything. I concluded that I just wasted money on more costly synthetic oil and instead tried Lucas oil additive which does offer a guarantee to stop oil leaks and whatnot. I think that helped because I remember having to add less oil here and there. Bottom line though man, just get regular high mileage oil and keep on it by adding oil when needed. Don't waste your money on synthetic now. If you can, just get it rebuilt or swap it for another engine.
