OT:
Oil Consumption. Do a search for an older post by me on this subject.
If you're finding oil on the passenger side of your engine, it's worth a look.
My wife's Dragon blew through a couple of quarts in a day as a result of this leaking valve cover gasket.
It leaves almost no trace of the leak if it sprays in the right direction.
An Isuzu tech told me to switch to 0W30 oil to quiet the motor down, it worked and didn't cause any oil consumption (burning).
I wouldn't say that thin oil is a bad thing.
