What do you guys think?
How much oil is it burning ??
Changing to an HM oil will not start an oil leak.
If you are concerned out the oil consumption rate, first of all make sure the CCV (Crank Case Vent) is not blocked. Then I would move up a grade to an 0 or 5w30 and either switch to a major brand (Mobil are good) HM oil, or if the problem is serious, try a can of stop leak additive. If you do decide to use an oil additive, use one made by a real good engine oil company, like Liqui Moly, not some back street snake oil mixers.
