2010 Ford Fusion V6 3.0L 162k miles
Currently running M1 HM 10w-30 and a Fram ultra
Considering a switch to Synpower with Max life in 10w-30
Also considering 5w-30 in both oils. Car is a daily driver, 25 miles to work and 25 back home, mixed city hwy about 40/60
I drive gently most of the time unless I've had a difficult day. On difficult days I tend to open the throttle a bit more. Some might call it Spirited.
I was consuming oil at a quart per 2k but it was Supertech Dino 5w-30. I changed the PCV valve to a new oem to see if it would correct the consumption. I have about 450 mi on current fill and so far I can't see a level drop. Will continue to monitor closely.
Should I switch brands? Why/why not?
Should I switch 10w to 5w? Why/why not?
Car is driven in N FL. Hasn't been below 50F in months.
