Sorry to revisit this...

Changed the oil in my sons 300e 156k about 4 months ago.... Rotella 5w-40 synthetic.

This car never burned a drop in between dino changes (at 3k). I used 20w-50 dino.

I decided to change over to synthetic for the first time in September.... It has burned a quart and a half in 2700 miles..

What gives? I will go back to dino when it gets warm again.
