A mechanic recommended it to me. Looking for more opinions.

 

stay away from quaker-sludge, castrol makes a high mileage oil.
castrol

 

I personaly would go with Mobil 1 full synthetic, but keep an eye on it you will burn up a little more than if running conventional

 

is it tru that synthetic oil tends to burn up faster than conventional oil? because i have been running a synthetic blend and it has been dissapearing on me but i have no oil leaks

I use it on my Escort, I dont think id use it on my Honda though

 

you should stick with castrol or pennzoil high mileage oils. both are better than the synthetic blend oils.

 

I used to use Mobile 1 syn... I switched over to Castrol High Mileage. Definatly holds up better than the mobile 1.

 

More than likely it is leaking somewhere...

Synthetic oil tends to leak through seals quite a bit more than conventional oil. Do you have any white smoke on start up after it sits a while?

 

How did we get on the subject of synthetic oils? I don't use synthetics, I'm not planning to, and I never mentioned them.

I know my car burns some oil. Actually, a mechanic today recommended I switch to 10w-40. I'm thinking of trying that.

Edit: my car has 138k miles. At 2500-3000 mile intervals, when I change my oil, it's totally black.
