I am surprise to hear that it makes such a big difference in oil consumption with thicker oil.
I've also read that a well broken-in engine burns less oil.
Thanks for the info.

If I had to guess where it goes, I'd wager it burns some and blows the rest through the PCV system. I used to lose 1qt / 3k miles when I ran the factory spec oil. I run a slightly thicker oil now and it doesn't lose a drop. But I'm not about to turn this into a "what kind of oil should I run" thread.  |
