1996 Honda Accord 4 cyl with 155,500 miles has had oil changes at 4,000-5,000 mile intervals during its lifetime, using only 5w30 dino oil. Can't tell that it uses any oil between changes. The only significant repair the car has ever had (AC compressor) was non-oil related.

I used to use it in a series of air cooled VW Beetles that I owned back in the 70s and early 80s. It was great in those air cooled 4-bangers.

I agree with Lazy JW's recommendations. In my younger years (late 60s through the 70s) I owned a succession of VW bugs. Castrol 20w50 gave good results. (I still miss those air-cooled cars from time to time, but not enough to get rid of my current Maxima!)

1997 Nissan Maxima with 106,000 miles with oil changes every 3500-4000 miles. No oil consumption between oil changes, has always had 5w30 dino in winter and 10w30 dino in summer.

It's like some kind of religious ritual -- I check the oil in my 2 cars (2005 Camry and 1997 Maxima) on the first Saturday of each month. Neither of them use any oil.
