oil outside of the oilpan is a big issue to me because all it takes is a busy week and slip of the mind and next thing you know your oil light is on.. Just because of that Thing you call a small leak

Don’t know if you have ever heard of a thing called road grime

I am pretty sure that’s all it is.... it’s a mixture of oil off the road and dirt and what ever else is on the road at the times you’re driving

hahahaha I drove a beater CRX for 2 years.... never checked or changed the oil whole time I had it

Ran like a champ never had one problem with it (other than the dizzy).... actually sold it to a friend and its still running with no problems
