I have a '96 Cruiser. About 10k miles ago i started using Mobil 1 10w30 synthetic oil. I know it's normal to burn oil a 'lil bit. I don't quite check my oil often since I'm very busy at work and no time on weekends. Anyways, on the first 5k miles i added about 2 quarts after about 3k miles of not checking my oil. Changed my oil about 4k miles ago (9k miles total). Yesterday I added another 2 quarts. I checked uder the hood and I don't see any leaks or what so ever. I drive 65 miles to and from work. I was wondering if this is normal using a synthetic oil. When i was using Valvoline this don't happen. Should I go back to Valvoline or can you guys recommend a good brand and viscosity. I don't drive my LC to work everyday just the last few weeks since my work car is in the body shop getting painted. Need help.
