Burning oil symptoms?
Are there any symptoms of how to tell if your car is burning oil? (car smoking etc.)
My car just recently had an oil change about 1000k ago and its almost to the low mark on the dipstick.
any and all help appreciated thanks.

Symptom of heavy burning oil is blue smoke out the tailpipe. I believe it's blue, I do get my colors confused with different problems, though I believe blue is oil. It's like a dark bluish, definately noticable. Though if there's no smoke at all (abnormally) coming out the back you're straight up leaking oil.

Did you actually read what I wrote? From the vibe you're giving off, you're 100% implying that it ISN'T smoking. If it isn't smoking and you're using oil like that, you're either A) Pounding VTEC on every single take off in every single gear, or B) have an oil leak.
