I am also no fan of the Mobil 0W40 oil either. Not sure if you have been running this for a long time. But this stuff does not go in my cars. Have heard many have oil consumption problems with this blend of oil.
Not sure if a bad CCV or lack of proper crankcase vacuum could also cause this. I know this is the case with the I6 engines, not sure with the V8.

Ok, thanks. I'm gonna take the lower engine cover off this weekend and see if there's any oil spotting on the driveway.
I've been changing my oil with Mobil 0W40 for 5 years. Haven't had any issues. What oil and grade do you recommend?
