You should be looking into the source of that excessive burnt lubricant, otherwise you might later have other issues like wet/prematurely worn plugs, clogged PCV, sludge clogged cylinder head, excessive blow by, dirty carburetor/engine bays etc. Having thicker lubricant is only a temporary solution if its not too bad, and one of the consequences of using thicker oil (especially on higher worn engines) is poorer performance, followed by poor fc as you have encountered.
FYI 2004 is not that old. My older 2000 Corolla is still running on 15w40 lube.
Agreed.FYI 2004 is not that old. My older 2000 Corolla is still running on 15w40 lube.
My crv year 1996 with BOT still uses 5w30 full syn. oil. Old doesn't mean anything if u take good care of your car and follow the maintenance schedule on oil change. However once there is indication on oil leaks or engine oil burning, do send it for fixing. Cars burning engine oil are damn annoying and coupled with damn selfish drivers by emitting the oily fume all over others and on the road.
