My car eats lots of engine oil, so I need to add between summer and winter filter + oil services.

My questions are:
1. Can I add synthetic engine oil or should I keep the conventional one?

2. Should I go with 0w30 or 5w30?
(Considering it's very cold in the winter and very hot in the summer)

3. Should I buy summer engine oil and an additional winter engine oil, or an all-season will fit?

Castrol Edge Titanum Full Synthetic seems to be the best in class

Hey Alex,

Based on your diagram, Castrol Edge 5W-40 A3/B3 is the best choice.
