10W30 is thinner

d'oh!  What viscosity would be a good one to use for a 3S-GTE in the warmer months?

could this be related to running too cold? not expansion happening etc? did that get sorted yet?

I guess this could be a contributing factor... I only noticed this happening AFTER the head was rebuilt and the car was running cold, but I didn't notice any signs of consumption before this... good point.

what were the rings gapped to?

Not sure, I wasn't involved with that side of it.

all oil should give signs of being consumed, but it may only be a hint of smoke that you can only see when following the car, not from in the drivers seat. thicker and thinner should still have similar signs.. they aren't that different really...

Well, sometimes when my MAP sensor is stuffing up on me, and the bitch runs at about 45°C, I can see a fair bit more exhaust smoke coming out behind me. If the MAP isn't acting up on me, it seems to be ok, can't see any visible signs of oil consumption, although I've been told once by someone behind me that I was putting out a bit of smoke, but I attributed this to the engine running rich.
