300SDLTOM,

Both my 300SDs use practically no oil in 3000 miles. The one 300SD used to use about a quart in 3000 miles but switching to Castrol Syntec decreased the oil consumption to about 1 qt in 10,000 miles.

EDIT: I should note that this miraculous decrease in oil consumption did not happen overnight. It took ~30,000 miles to "clean out the engine".
