If it is burning oil after being warmed up, using 0w40 or 5w40 might help.

I have used Mobil 1 5W30 in my 2005 sedan for the last 10 years. It has 150K on it and is just now using about 1/2 qt in 2500 miles. I went to conventional 10W30 this last oil change and it did slow the OC a bit.

I am still running Mobil 1 5W30 in my 2011 Nissan Frontier V6, it also has 150K and uses not one drop in 7500 mile oil changes. However, I haven't driven the shyt out of it like the G.
