Thanks everyone. I`ve a 65 mile round trip to work. Put about 600
miles on since the last top up. Last topped up with Mobil 0W40.
I rarely really use the revs hard on the straight 6 but I do let it
live a bit. Maybe some 5w30 would be a bit better. Or maybe my engine
needs abit of work. The car is 2001 with 41k on. This ain`t looking
good is it!. R.

That would be a very bad move unlkess you are trying extra hard to
lubricate your spark plugs.
5W30 is *thinner oil* than 0W40. The second number is the viscosity at
running temp, and the only one that is significant when considering oil
use.
