I changed from dino to Mobil 1 in my 94 900SE V6 at about 60k miles. Changed oil every 10k, filter every 5k. Never had to add a drop between changes (other than to replace the amount in the filter). Have zero leakage; now at 129k.
Recently bought my 94 9000sce,(146k miles) which had a couple of leaks not worth fixing. Had to add about 1/2 qt between 750 and 1000 miles. First change I went to Valvoline MaxLife and now have 2500 miles and have not had to add any oil yet. I plan to change oil & filter every 5k; I do a lot of highway miles. Must be something to their claim of being specially formulated for higher mileage engines. I recommend it.
