    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

Hey guys, anyone have oil burning? I'm burning half a quart every 2000 miles with amsoil 5w-30. I have since switch to Castrol Edge for GDI and Turbo, no oil burn yet as of 1100 miles, can anyone chime in?
 
I don't have any oil burning issues.

Doing some research, the oil you're using benefits engines that are both GDi & turbo. Of course, if it works continue to use it! But high mileage oils are specifically formulated for oil burning issues.
 
How many miles do you have and what is your location? I am burning a bit of oil (212k miles) myself.
I live in SC and as the weather is increasing I went up viscosity. 10w30w Full Synthetic Penzoil.
So far so good. Been running very smooth.
 
+1 to the high-mileage oil suggestion.

Also, stepping up a weight (increase viscosity) has helped many owners with oil burn issues, particularly in summer.

only 73k on my 2013...it only burn with Amsoil though, just switched to Castrol Edge and I was amazed that I havent burn anything 1400 miles in..the amsoil woul have been half a mark by now.

I'm just curious why there are such disparity between the two, and AMSOIL suppose to be the more expensive one.
 
I spoke too soon, I think it is consuming it, but slower rate, at 1500 miles now, will check around 2k again...does anyone know the dip stick measurement? from L to H is a quart or half a quart?

Hmm...that is strange...you have low miles...almost sounds like rings burning oil.
Try Syn Blend see what happens..I hate that you are going through this....

I ran Mobil1 in my '13 Rspec and had 1/4 quart consumption between oil changes. Now I run Rotella Gas truck 5w-20 with Liquid Moly MoS2 and have no consumption and runs smoother than ever!
