I ran 5w20 on a 235k prius.

Under 1/2 quart consumption in 5k.

Why is this? I’ve noticed this on my cars at times, too. I generally stick to Mobil HM but occasionally throw in some Penzoil HM. When I do, I need to top off at around 1,500 miles. Then good for remaining 3,500

OP: I’m at 208,000 on my 05 Accord. At 150k or so, went from 0w-20 to a HM grade. If it were me, I’d stick with whatever you’ve been doing. If it were me...

J/k of course. Winter shaping up to be COLD so far but 0w20 I doubt would hurt anything

If you have been using 5-30 why change if you've had no issues?
 
Well, it was 17 here this morning before I left to donate platelets. The m1 HM 5w30 was ok, but I’ll euther take Dlundblad’s advice on using the M1 0w40 year around or M1 0w20AFE

Except he never said to use 0w40.

Judging by your OP and s-ignature, you are currently running 5w30. Id just stick with that.

Actually, in discussions with DLundblad, we discussed using M1 0w40 for 10k intervals since my engine is fairly clean

So, I decided on PP 5w20 and successfully submitted the rebate

Co worker of mine is bringing his VW Jetta over for a oil change so I’ll use the M1 0w40 in that
