I currently have 106K miles on a 1.8L Toyota 4cyl. I have been using Amsoil S2000 0w-30 and have noticed my consumption has gone up quite a bit. I'm using 1/5qt to a 1/4qt. every 2 weeks or 2,000 milesMy engine is getting older and I have been driving faster then I used to. (75mph -80mph) My manual states that oil consumption is normal for this type of engine and it occurs when the piston goes down and pressure sucks the oil back up and it is burned off. I atribute the increase in consumption to the engines age and oil.
Question is what oil could I run and not have to check it every week?
My choices were either:
Mobil 0w-40, 5w/10w-30
Amsoil 10w-30
I'd be content with any of these but my real concern is which one I will most likely see the least consumption with. I have been changing the oil around 5-8K miles and will continue to do so.
Any thoughts? Thanks
