here in Miami, i run 15W 50 Mobil 1 during the Summer. what i have
experienced is that synthetic oil tends to burn one quart of oil. fill up
that quart and it will run forever. that's what i have experienced.

Subject: DML: Oil Pressure Problems
I changed the oil in the 4x4 over from conventioanl oil to Mobil 1
10-w30 synthetic. This is the first summer I have had the 4x4 and have
never driven it in heat before. My problem is the oil pressure
lately has been just in the normal range. Lower than I think it should
be. I checked and I was low on oil for some reason. I added a two
quarts of oil to it which brought it up one quart over teh full line.
(grumble) I'm wondering if I am using the wrong type of oil. is 10-w30
too thin for summer driving? Its almost time for me to change the oil
again, so I want to get it right.
