Hay gangster how much oil did you put it. Did you notice anything in the oil when you changed it. Is the head gasket leaking.

The 1992-1995 1.5L and 1.6L Civic engines take 3.8 qts. of oil when you change the filter as well.

Please drop the "holla back y0!" **** too please. It will only discredit you here.

I'd say the rings are probably bad and you're getting the classic oil smoke from a worn out engine.

Just keep a check on the oil level and it'll probably run for a while unless it starts knocking.

you can drain the oil and put a higher viscosity oil in it that might help

did you check the pcv valve? if thats plugged which could be, it could cause oil to back up and burn blue
