Well, oil seals get old and an engine is still considered to be good, according to what I have read on the Internet, if it consumes less than 1 quart per 1000 miles.And, one should change the oil every 3,000 mi. according to most reputable oil change garages.

Granted if it's leaking any oil, that is not ideal.

Rubber seals and gaskets can get oil soaked and spongy or tightness of bolts that hold gaskets on can be too loose (but I wouldn't overtighten bolts as they only go in so far)..

What kind of oil do you i use in a 1995 cad sedan deville

What ever your heart desires.
If its not burning oil then it would not be a waste to use a full synthetic. The oil fill cap may recomend 5w 30. Personaly I don't go lower than 10w 30.
1, I live in California and I don't have freezing winters.
2, The low numbers are based on what the EPA recommends. Its for the enviroment and not engine protection. The less resistance that you may get from a heavier oil means less emmisions.
