Older ones tend to burn a little oil, last year my '98 at 65K mi(now 71K mi) was using a quart in 2500mi... I switched to M1 HM 5W-30 and consumption is now approx half prior... My '07 never falls off full, it's currently at 72K mi...

But the engine is still basically same, I checked specs and clearances are same for '00 & '01... Except for two changes of 50/50 M1 0W-40 & 5W-20EP, I've have always used 5W-30 in both of mine...
This year and at least in '17 they'll both be getting PU 0W-40 SRT...
