Situation:
07 Lexus IS (DI engine) 136000 trouble-free miles. Oil changes since 120K Valvoline MaxLife 5w30 (per Lexus).
OCI's every 6000 miles
Changed after Christmas and noticed oil on dipstick down by little over half. No leaks so obviously its being burned.
None or very little smoke from tailpipe
Never a thrown code for carbon buildup
So, 1) Where's the oil being burned?
2) What oil weight and brand would y'all suggest?
I live in MS so there's no concern heavy oils
I drive alot, in fact. January I drove 3800 miles
As usual, thx ahead.
