I have a 91 accord and it's a real oil burner. Every morning plumes of smoke come out the exhaust and it goes through a quart in about 300 miles. I replaced the valve seals and it seems like that has improved the smoke slightly, but the cars not really worth it to spend any more money on. Anyway, my question is that will using synthetic oil reduce the amount of visible smoke from the exhaust? I've heard that it burns cleaner, but it also burns easier. In other words it doesn't smoke as much, but it would be consumed more than dino oil. I know it doesn't make sense to spend more money on synthetic when I'll just burn through it. I was just curios to see what your opinions are.
Btw - I've tried most conventional/synthetic blend oil brands, and haven't noticed any significant change from one to to the other. In terms of consumption or smoke.
