oil issues?
My stock gsr has 133k miles, i've had her for only 4 months, everything's great. When I bought it, an oil change had just happened...Couple months ago, oil light flickered sometimes going over bumps/ sharp turns etc. so I change the oil and barely a quart came out. So, filled it up, everything's ok.... I check the level periodically, its' fine.
The other day it is so low I can't even see any on the dipstick. I dump a few quarts in there for now... and I don't smell it burning any oil unless I'm just retarded...I' don't know much about cars so this is really a problem.
What do you suggest I have checked out first? It's probably relatively simple.
I am slightly inebriated or was or something so perhaps this is not making all the sense it should but I really need help!

Definitely a leak somewhere. Jack up the car, do you see any leakage? Any oil/crud residue under there? That's a lot of oil to lose in a short amount of time. Something is wrong there. Look at the engine bay too....anything leaking? From the valve cover? Cam seal? Distributor?

Won't make a difference. If the car is working correctly, you can be in Vtec 24 hours a day and you shouldn't be losing that amount of oil.

how are you driving the car? do you warm up the car? you do know that if you dont warm up the car and just driving it burns oil alot quicker!!!! and if you drive it in the high rpms you burn oil too.... try warming up your car for like 5-10minutes before driving it.... or look on the floor see if your leaking...... or pop open your hood by the valve cover see if you see spots of oil you might need a new gasket!
