Staying away from heavier oil because it may not lubricate other areas properly such as the main bearings etc... Not worth risking over a small oil savings. Even with the oil burning, the money saved by the fuel economy easily offsets the oil cost. It's a mere fraction of cost. I just find it annoying and seeing what I can do to slow it down or stop it without tearing down the engine.
