uhh, if is dinosor oil id stick with that, 5-30 should be fine, if its burning oil, u can try a 10-30 would reduce it cause its thicker... umm if theres synthetic in there go with synthetic
im not sure if you want to switch to synthetic or not because of the milage...

wow 150k and you already are blowing by. I cannot believe its valve seals, perhaps you need to update your pcv.
