b16a2 oil problem
it seems my car is burning oil but it doesn't smoke. all stock car so far except for catback exhaust. i rarely drive the car so when i do i drive it pretty hard. does it have to do with vtec? cause when i do drive the car i do hit vtec A LOT. it doesn't use a lot but if i was to drive it for couple days fairly hard cause i don't drive it much then i check the oil it's a little low.

actually to determine if you are losing oil via your oil control rings you need to perform a leakdown test.

running high revs is one of many differnt reasons of buring oil. i pretty sure ur loosing ur oil because of that. maybe u also have to replace ur O rings also. it should be done every 100,000 miles anyways
