anyone ever hear of doing this to stop oil consumption? mixing 5 quarts of 10w-30 and a quart of 50 wt
it sounds stupid to me i've always been told not to mix different weights yet some guy on ls1.com wants to do it. i want to make sure i'm right. i think that the factory recommended oil is just fine and that we shouldn't no matter how smart we are try to out smart an engineer who has a college degree in that sort of stuff. i'm think that they should stick to the factory recommended oil and stop the consumtion some other way. what'd you guys think?

Re: anyone ever hear of doing this to stop oil consumption? Go with your gut-feeling; it's correct.
Excessive oil consumption (define that!) results from different things. You need to find the cause.

Re: anyone ever hear of doing this to stop oil consumption? its not a problem for my car.no oil consumption problems to date with 49,130 on the odometer.
i just saw someone asking about that and wanted to see if anyone else did that. like i said just curious to see if this guys asking for trouble personally i think that the whole idea of mixing oils is stupid and is asking for trouble. but this guy and some others on ls1.com were talking about how much it helped. i want to know if they are looking at potential engine problems from such a stupid idea.
i can't define it cause its not on my car and if it ever did happen i wouldn't fix it by mixing oils. just want to hear your opinions on this subject.
