Nah. I have a 2006 Merc 4.0. 183K. I run high mileage Valvoline 10W-30 oil. My Merc does not burn oil. Runs great.
Valvoline Restore and Protect. This newly designed oil can, and does, remove up to 100% of engine deposits. Including those found on and around the piston rings. A major contributing factor to oil blow-by, or general usage between oil changes. It take a couple 4k mile oil changes to work. Everything I have researched shows that it does work and many, most even, report a significant reduction in burning oil between oil changes, but do your own research! :) I wasn't having oil burning issues in my 8th gen, but still ran it through a couple times because it certainly won't hurt anything!
Assuming you don’t have an obvious oil leak, which at that rate it would be, the best you can do is try to switch to Valvoline Restore and Protect oil. It’s getting rave reviews for its ability to clean piston rings on bobistheoilguy.
Just use valvoline restore and protect and you’re safe to go! My elantra is a 2021 with 43k miles and I haven’t had even one issue with the engine so far. I bought it with 41k miles and there’s nothing like the peace of mind I sense knowing I can rely on it to take me where I need to go. Idk if it’s the oil or what, but I’m impressed.
Valvaline Restore & protect is the best oil to use when getting up there in miles. It slowly cleans the engine. It’s all i run in all my vehicles now. My Clarity has 133k miles with no issues.
I use 5w-30 Valvoline Restore & Protect, I’m from the SoCal low desert region. Never had an issue, changed every 5,000 miles (nearly once a months cause I commute so much for work).
eu la cc ul meu 2.0 tdi cfgb am pus si 0w30 si 5w30. (0w30 ulei volkswagen si 5w30 fuchs si ravenol). vara, in blana pe autostrada, uleiul 0w30 atingea si 118-119 grade ceea ce e cam aproape de limita. 5w30 peste 114 nu trecea.
Started using restore and protect a few months and 4k miles ago. No leaks either.
I'm trying out Valvoline Restore & Protect right now. I only ran oem Idemitsu before but started to have oil consumption issues with that oil the last two winters so I decided to switch.
This is not fine. VW oils like 502, 504, 508 and 511 are not typical oils. They have a different additive package and the viscosity is different, like the extended performance 5w30 is not the same viscosity as a 504 5w30. The 504 is thicker and is closer to a 40w.
