Well I'm on my last bottle of 10w30 durablend and i just purchased a bottle of 15w50 durablend to put in after.
I can hear the screams of many on here but I have my reasons!
I had some oil usage but not too much and although that cleared up after i added MoS2, the fact is increased usage indicates ring/valve guide wear
My engine is on the rattly side, mainly the hydraulic lifters but they tend to like thicker oil anyway and it should hush them. My car is silent when its cold ie. when the oil is at its thickest
Winter is coming to an end down under now and I'd be very surprised if we had any more frosty or even cold nights ahead around here
Today i pulled out into traffic and put my foot down and i saw an alarming ploom of white smoke! Never seen it before so I dont know what happened there! I tried it again when the engine was fully hot and i didnt see much.
I do 80% highway driving so i shouldnt notice much difference in fuel consumption
And finally, this is Australia. We love thick oil right?!
If i dont like anything or my car has any adverse reactions i'll go straight back to 10w30/40
