Default 5th Gen - Oil Problem

Is it common that I'm low on oil every week!? I have to add in at least 2 quarts every week and I don't even know how the car is burning oil. It's def. not leaking, cuz I already brought it to the dealer. Anybody else have this problem?

You should burn about a quart every 3000 miles with normal driving. How often do you hit VTEC?

How many miles on the car ?

Check your cam seals. If they're bad, the leak will be hidden but will compound your oil loss.
