Yes, but some vehicles due to their poor engine design burn oil no matter what such as in the case in a lot of Saturns. To slow down consumption, High Mileage oils can provide benefits such as reducing the number of top off's needed.
I have a friend who had an SL1 SOHC, and it was an oil-burning menace too. He just put whatever in it because it burned it so fast, it was pretty much getting a constant oil change.
