i probably have 100k on my motor(95 gsr)...well im not even sure to tell u the truth...n e ways it hasn't burn n e oil..mobil 1 10w30

 

Damn, every time i post about my burning oil, all i get are responses of people saying "i have xxxxx amount of miles, and i dont burn any oil at all"

congratulations, your car doesnt burn oil. thanks for nothing.

The real question at hand is about going up in weight/grade of my oil.

 

your supposed to burn oil eventually
you shouldve have the same amount when you do the oil change as from previous
1 qt every 1000 is excessibe, oil pan gasket might be it, but no leaks on your cam seal or head?

 

I replaced my 180k motor with one that has 6-10k miles on it, god love morons who undercharge for parts. h:

 

Definitely FIND OUT what is causing the oil to be burnt.

There is nothing wrong with going up weight in oil, unless you're getting to one extreme....

I too was burning oil, the cause was the oil pan gasket.. oil leaked out onto the header... so I was literally burning oil

 

156K here. i burn and leak h: :exnbp:

 

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.......

THanks for the helpful replies guys.

I really gotta look into the oil pan gasket issue, but taking off my 4-1 1-piece header is gonna take hours (bent in radiator support+no space = lots of bad words and many hours of labor).

hey Maxboost, did u ever see any oil drops in your driveway or wherever you park your car?

hey Airon, there are no leaks on the head. Cam seals are clean and everything...
