VALVOLINE Engine oil

If you wanna try and solve the oil burning though, try using either Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w-30 engine oil at your next oil change (and use it for top ups as well) or Valvoline Maxlife 5w-30. If you find your burning oil while driving, it’s probably gummed up piston rings in which case use the Restore and Protect- it’ll take a bit (4 consecutive oil changes) but it’s the only off the shelf oil available that will completely clean the rings and stop the burning.

Pros: cleans piston rings, stops oil burning
Cons: requires multiple oil changes

AMSOIL Engine oil

I switched to 5w-30 instead of the factory spec 0w-20 and that slowed down my consumption. I use Amsoil to maximize protection with use of the "wrong" oil weight and I monitor wear with oil analysis and seem to have no change in wear from my 0w-20 use.

Pros: slowed consumption, maximized protection, no wear change
Mileage: 180000 km

I'd recommend using some Valvoline for your oil changes from now on, particularly their Restore & Protect line. It shut those noisy lifters up in 2 oil changes on my old '09 Avalon, and good lord did it flush out a bunch of gunk I didn't know was in there. I got a few MPG's more after it was said and done, too, and she ran happy.

Pros: quiets lifters, flushes gunk, improved MPG
Vehicle: Toyota Avalon

AMSOIL Engine oil

I used Amsoil Signature when I was driving 1300 miles a week just so I could go two months between oil changes.

Pros: extended oil change intervals

AMSOIL - DO NOT USE THIS CRAP , No seriously this stuff is crap and it's not worth the risk. I put this in my R32 at 24,000 and the motor blew at 24,500 due to a depleted rod bearing.

Cons: motor blew
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 24500 km
