How much is it burning? How hard are you driving it? I'm using pennzoil platinum in my02 and it's not bad at all if i'm nice to it.

i just use the car for work every day probably 10 miles a day, i just changed my oil a month ago and when i checked my oil level today it was low already, i had to refill it with 1 and 1/2 qts

Yeah i did the switch from mobil to castrol as well did help quite a bit but still burns some. Get into the habit of checking everytime you fuel up.

Not sure what was in mine when I got it (6 or so weeks ago), but I swithched to Castrol Edge (formerly "Syntec") and things are much better.
