That's a very good point...

I've had old volvos that didn't smoke at all with quality oil. I've always run 10-40 in winter, and used to run 20-50 in summer in worn engines. I was a Castrol guy at that time, I'm not as picky now.

Any event, I once did an oil change using less expensive oil (won't mention the brand, but it'd be high scoring Scrabble word, were it allowed), and my oil consumption went from a quart every 1500 miles to a quart every 500, accompanied by blue smoke...
