Re: Burning Oil (vtek9)
its a honda... any honda will do this. dont worry about it, just dont forget to add some.
the problem as i understand it is the oil pressure on hondas is extremley high compared to other cars. this is needed for vtec to engage. like i said, dont worry about it.
another point is RX-7's, rotary's burn oil by design, theres no way to lubricate an apex seal and keep the oil from getting burnt.

Re: Burning Oil (vtek9)
yes it is natural for honda motors to burn oil... its just when you start blowing smoke that you have to worry
