What might run good in one car might not in another. I am not a fan of organic/ester oil either, and that's more for the euro cars that like running mobil1 if im not mistaken, and yay if you had good luck with it in your 2JZ. If I am correct about that, it wouldn't surprise me that's why you are burning oil, and why I'm not. I've heard that some motor oils including Mobil1, and Redline make, and forumlate to run in certain vehicles, or certain conditions, such as turbo, or high reving cars, just as couple examples. The type of oil, and weight of the oil might make a bigger difference with the VQ's, but I'm just speculating. I started thinking, and forgot I did have a oil burning car once, now that I think of it. I had a Saturn SL2 that burned oil back in 1998 which was common if remember right in those cars. The dealership was doing the oil changes, and I had them switch from organic to the sym-blend, and it got better but never completely stopped burning oil, and it really happened more durning the smmer. ![]() ![]() |
