so my car burns about 2.5-3 quarts every 5,000 miles on synthetic oil

Reluctantly, I buy it at Walmart.
Ordinarily I avoid that place like the plague. But 5 quarts for $20 is hard to beat. They had 15W50 which I ran last summer also. I am not sure if I will stick with the 5W40 for the summer this year or go back to the 15W50. The engine runs very smoothly with the 5W40, much more so than on anything else I've tried (15W50, 10W30, 5W30, all M1). Lifter chatter at 0 degrees F is startling -- it lasts for literally 1/2 second and then goes totally silent.

I am befuddled by you three. They just opened 1500 new stores and they are the epidemy of
EVIL CORPORATE AMERICA RUN AMUCK. =) If you were in Seattle I would give you Pentosin, anything to keep you out of there. I heard they are going to buy Canada.
