Default Anyone else burning mobil 1 synethetic oil?

Reason i ask is because i only have 29k on my motor and it is burning the mobil 1 synthetic oil in high rpms. Alot of local people said they were having this problem in other cars. I wanted to know if anyone else had the problem also.
What oil do i switch to that wont burn but is still synthetic?

it's not the oil, it's your car in general. the AP1's seem to like burning oil. Also, Mobil 1 sucks donkey ass for the S2000. they seem to eat up TCT's. I use Amsoil.

Pretty sure the FAQ says not to use Mobil 1.

It's particularly volatile and evaporates more then usual

I've had good luck with mobil1. Are you sure your cars burning it or is your pcv valve shot? You might want to check that.

It's both. don't think simply changing brands will eliminate your oil consumption. get krank vents, or make your own, if you want to see it go bye bye.
