1000kms changed to Valvoline Conventional 10W30
3000kms changed with Valvoline Conventional 10W30
6000kms changed with Valvoline Conventional 10W30
9000kms changed to Mobil 1 Synthetic 10W30


After the 3000km oil change no oil consumption whatsoever.

To the people that are using a 30wt. oil: How much oil consumption do you go through every 1000 miles? (Please, do not go by date).

To the people that are using a heavier weight oil than 30wt: How much oil consumption do you go through every 1000 miles? (Please, do not go by date).

TIA for the kind responses.

I'm using Quaker State (please no flames) because the dealership I bought my car from offered a 250,000 mile engine warranty from Quaker State if I agreed to always use Quaker. If I have any oil-related engine problems for the first 250,000 they will cover it. Reassures me as we have an engine that has shown a few oiling problems. I also have the extended warranty, peace of mind
