10-50 is a bit too thick imho.

go for 0-40 or 5-30 somthing around there.

Check whether your PCV valve has worn out.

thick oil burns faster? you guys are kidding right?

Thinner oils tend to sneak by bad valve seals and piston rings much easier then a thicker oil hence buring oil...

Once in a while I'll see a crx/eg civic or similar accelerating normally and constantly leaving clouds of blue/white smoke...Is that a common problem that's caused by something or are the engines simply wearing out? Maybe that's the problem you have?

Theory aside, it would be wise to use an oil weight recommended by the manufacturer.
