My 2000 corolla has a oil burning problem. Mainly after coasting downhill in gear and giving it gas, it will emit a large plume of blue smoke. Also under heavyish acceleration it will emit a very faint trail of blue smoke. The burning comes from worn piston rings which these 00-02 corollas are known for. What oil would you recommend to help reduce this? I am willing to use 10w-40 for the summer months and would prefer to use conventional because of the price. Any specific brands?
I currently use 5w-30 pennzoil high mileage conventional. I use this because the high mileage helps prevent small gasket leaks but burning is a bigger issue for me. I’m using about a quart every 400 miles.
