I have a 2000 Dodge Intrepid R/T, 3.5 w/auto stick. I run Valvoline full synthetic 10w-30. It will usually use about 1/2 qt. between oil changes (5000 mi) but it seems to be using a little more than usual now. It has 106,000 on it. I was thinking about going with a high mileage oil or is that stuff just a gimmick? Maybe go back to conventional? What do you guys think?
Got Mopar???

A half quart per 5k is sure not excessive in my book. However, if you feel the need to try a HM oil, Maxlife is excellent. They have both a syn blend (group II/III) and a syn (group III) version.
It's Swifty! Swifty, you toad sucker!

Thanks for the replies. The water pump and timing belt were already replaced at about 98K. I'll just stick with what has been working.
