congratulations, your car doesnt burn oil. thanks for nothing.
The real question at hand is about going up in weight/grade of my oil.
Calm down...........
If you live in a climate that keep the temp high....It will not hurt using 15..........But thats only for southern cali/arizona/etc. and so on.......And do you do a lot of driving at night?.....When it's cooler......Many things can affect it....I ran 20/50 and still burned oil........And I only drove during the day is San Diego.........But it puts more wear on the engine running the thicker oil...............
I now changed to 10W30 Castrol synthetic blend.....on my last oil change..........I will be switching to full synthetic soon...........
I have 125,000 and always burn oil.............1 quart between oil changes..........But with the sythetic....I'll just have to wait and see.......
