i went to go change my oil today and i checked it before i changed it.. it was about a quart low, and it was dirty ofcourse.. the oil was roughly 3200 miles old.. when i took the filter off it was alot heavier then the new one.. defective fram filter?

Note: dont think its my valve seals because im not blowin smoke out of my exhaust, searched the whole motor over, no leaks anywhere. motors at about 98,000 miles.. D16y8, all stock internals, just the ocasional bolt ons

 

Get used to it, when you get to 1qt = 1,000 miles time for a overhaul.

 

Common thing with Honda cars. Seems like they burn about a quart in between changes. All of mine seemed to do it. I just topped them off about every 1500 miles.

Yeah its normal man, i own a 00 si b16a2 burns oil like that, just keep checken up on it every once in a while in between oil changes

Common thing with almost all cars. Cars burn oil after a while. A quart between changes is considered normal.

Now you should be alarmed if up to this day it never burned oil. Or if your next oil change is substantially more. However, if it is constant don't worry about it. Just my 0.02

Cheers.

 

iono "old man neri" -- none of my cars ever burned a whole court in the duration of 3k miles...oh well, guess I'll have to check it now if I hear that all hondas do that...woooooord...thx for the tip I guess at OP

 

Average car burns 1qt every 1,000mi. Oil Filter is heavier cause its wet and has debris inside it. I would go with a factory filter instead of a Fram

 

what are the benefits of the stock oil filter???

Search "filter". You will get a ton of arguments and thoughts on the matter. Many multiple page threads on the subject
