Hello
I have a 1ZZ-FE with 204k miles. 2000 Toyota Corolla.
It does burn / consume oil about 1-1/4 quarts in 2k miles. This engine is know to consume oil, I believe there was a ring issue.
Should I switch to synthetic? If so should I use 10W30 instead of 5W30?
If I stay with a bled or traditional oil should I used 10W30 or the recommended 5W30?
I ask about the oil grade as I am thinking it may not consume as much for the 10W30?
I'm worried if I switch to synthetic leaks will develop and it might burn more. Will synthetic get past the rings easier?
Thanks!
