My Camry has been burning oil more than normal lately and I would like to know if you suggest that I change the motor oil to a heavier weight, I now use 10w30 or should I use one of the "Older Engine Oils" that I see in the auto parts stores? Also there are oil additives for older engines.

Find out why its burning oil-get a compression test to determine the problem. Maybe you got a leak somewhere. My way I just use straight 30W so that it slows down the oil pumping and when it quits I just park it beside the road and walk home and don't look back.
