Default 'High mileage' oil?
My FC has 203xxx miles on it and has a tendency to spit out large clouds of smoke under certain conditions (usually during high RPM upshifts, or revving at high RPMs in the driveway like a ricer). A guy on another general car forum I'm on mentioned switching to Valvoline Maxlife Synthetic blend in his (non-rotary) vehicle, and claims he burns far less oil then he did with normal 10w-30 oil. Do these 'high mileage' oils live up to the hype and are they worth the additional cost? I'll be changing my oil soon and I'm thinking about trying something other than my usual Castrol GTX.
