Oil Question S90-V90

Ditto I ran Auto-Rx through my 97 back in June 05. The P.O. ran dino 10W30 for the first 65K then for some reason switched to synthetic just before selling the car. I got it at 66K and did the Auto-Rx at 70K miles. Made a huge difference in the idle and general overall performance of the engine. The engine smoothed out through out the rpm range.
I was using about a quart of oil every 2500-3000 miles. After the cleaning my oil usage has dropped to 1/2 a quart or so at 6K miles oil change intervals. This car is a highway car and rarely used for around town driving. I run 10W30 M1 with a maintenance dose of Lube Control LC20. Due to the addition of additional LC20 every 1K miles as recommended the car shows zero oil usage. Subtract out the LC20 and that is how I came up with the 1/2 quart usage.
