Ok we have a 93 Honda Del Sol with 160,000 miles that burns about 1 quart every 1,000 miles.
We plan to get 200,000 miles out of this vehicle with no engine work.
There are no oil leaks and aside from burning oil the cars drives great, 30+ MPG!
I am currently using 10W-30 Valvoline MaxLife for 2 changes, didn't seem to change oil consumption, would the "17%" better Castrol HM really do anything, their wording makes it sound like that only applies to other conventional oils, the Valvoline MaxLife is a synthetic (which might be why it burns dunno).
Anyone have any experience with slowing oil burning? Thicker oil?
