I've got a 2006 Ford Taurus SE with the 3.0L Vulcan V6. I'm currently running Havoline SB 5w20 w/ OCI of 6 months/5k miles. Last OCI, my 6 month mileage was 2,9xx miles. My oil usage was ~0.25 qts. Most of my trips are short, consisting of 3-5 miles round-trip with 20 miles round-trip 2-4 times per month, and a 60 mile round trip every 2-3 months.
I'm considering switching to 5w30 oil and doing annual oil changes (unless you guys think that's not the best idea with short trips)
For climate reference, I live in eastern Tennessee, near the Great Smoky Mountains.
What oil would be good for this type of situation?
