At purchase in July 2008, the dealer said Mobil 1 synthetic was in it.
After noticing the high rate of oil consumption, I switched to
conventional Pennzoil 5w30 oil. No change in oil consumption. I
returned to Mobil 1 synthetic 5w30 in mid-August. No change.

I have been using regular unleaded Conoco Phillips gasoline, ethanol
blended in where I live.
