    Probably a good plan. I've heard Rotella 5w-40 diesel grade engine oil can prevent oil consumption. It's very high in detergent and can keep the piston rings from clogging. Might be a good idea if you end up with a rebuilt 6VE1.

    I am hoping that with a rebuilt 6VE1 the oil buring problem will be taken care of. If they bore out the cylinder a bit and use new rings and pistons, I would think that that would solve the oil issue, but I guess I'll find out soon.
