no its not burning oil or using oil or anything like that, I was just explaining that's my usual solution if an engine does burn or use oil.

the owners manual shows to use 5w-30w or 10w-30w regular oil in temps below 40* or use straight 30w for temps 40* and over

it does mention synthetic 10w-30w as being ok to use in temps above 40* but I dont want to use a thinner oil than 30w and I wouldn't feel its being protected as well having that thinner 10w portion in it.
