I have put 1,100 miles so far on my car using 0W-30 Series 2000 from Amsoil and havnt burned a drop. By now, (i believe), there 5w-30 and M1's 5w-30 would have burned off a little. I check my oil every week or two due to the mega miles I put on and usually after a 1,000 miles, I would have burned off maybe 1/5 of a quart. I'm curious to know if this new Amsoil 0w-30 will help reduce burn off compared to the 5W's from Amsoil and Mobil? So far so good. I'll see what happens in another thousand or so....by then I can get a good read. According to my manual, oil burn off is common and varies on the engine. Some engines, like Corvettes, burn allot of oil. In my car, the manual states it has to do with negative pressure when the piston moves down. (something like that).
