i got a 94 ls i put a new motor in the car little over a year ago said to have had between 30-40 thound miles i dont beat on the car dont race or anything i had to re-done the head due to the timining belt jumping on me about 6 7 months ago...for the past few weeks when i start my car smoke comes out exhaust but doesnt really smell like oil that much and when i check my oil problem 1/2 quart to a quart low before my scheduled oil change. i use valvoline 10w30 any thoughts or suggestions on how to prevent it.....????

 

It's normal, don't worry about it. You may want to try using Castrol GTX though, Honda motors seem to love it for some odd reason.

 

Yea I use castrol high mileage 5w30. what your describong is normal, dont worry about it.

 

Ive used castrol before, and then i started valvoline, and i have to say both or pretty good to be honest. There is a track Nsx that represents castrol oil i think, you know the race car nsx in the gran turismo games.

 

wut about valvoline high milage jst as good???

 

You need to be using 5w30! and mobil synthetic will last for 8k miles.

 

If you love valvoline than use valvoline synthetic 5w30
also you should check all your fluids every couple of weeks.

 

i ran the quaker state high hp 5w30, the $4 quart on my stock gsr twice to see the difference, first 1500 miles ran great but seem to have consuption problems after. i would change it more often if hi-milage. anyone tried super tech oil? they suck and burn up like a b*tch!!

 

i get oil changes @ valvoline 4 free

 

you're fine. I have the wretched massive oil consumption with no smoking and no visible major leaks. This is a real bitch. I essentially replace my oil 2x between oil changes -- I have to watch it and end up adding around 4 qts across the 3k mile stretch. Be happy
