I am getting a bit more oil consumption than I like. There are no leaks, no smoke fromthe exhaust, no wet spots on the bottom of the engine. It seems that it's less than 1L for every 1000kms (I think that's a quart per 600 miles).
From what I've read that's sort of normal consumption that some folks are getting. The car is a 2.5L V6 with 185,000kms (115,000 miles).

My mechanic recommended that I try to switch to a heavier grade oil for the summer to see if that improves (decreases) the oil consumption. So, I'm going to try 10W30 at the next oil change.

Did anyone else try to run 10w30 instead of the recommended 5w30?
What was/is your experience?

Thanks!
