Yes, 10W-30 oil can be suitable for high mileage vehicles, particularly if the manufacturer's specifications recommend it. This oil provides a good balance of viscosity and protection, helping to reduce engine wear and maintain performance in older engines. Additionally, many high mileage oils contain additives that can help seal leaks and reduce oil consumption. Always check your vehicle's owner’s manual for the best oil type for your specific engine needs.
It is not normal for a healthy engine to use oil unless it has high mileage or the wrong oil is being used. Adding a qt between oil changes would be acceptable with a high mileage vehicle.
