Anybody use a 5w 40 motor oil in their vehicle?
My truck has 68k and am noticing that its starting to burn oil. My manual says 5w-30 but I am looking to upgrade so that it stops burning. Has anybody used a 5w or 0w-40 motor oil? I am thinking either shell rotella T synthetic or mobil 1 0w-40 european car formula.

I'd be much more inclined to stay with the recommended oil viscosity, which in the case of your '04, is 5w/30. At the next oil change, substitute a Qt. of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer for a quart of your oil. It is a 100% pure petroleum stabilizer and as such, can be mixed with either conventional or synthetic oils...
