Default Is this normal ????

I have a 07 Si and have about 2000 miles on it now. I did everthing in the manual drive it slow for 600. When I check my oil, it was like a quarter of a quart low so I ask my dealer they said because you hit V-TEC your oil level will drop anyone else have same issue ....?

1. Did you check your oil after the car was properly cooled down?


& K-series tend to "burn" oil a bit faster than other motors.

Most cars use a little bit of oil wen they are first broken-in. Keep an eye on the level after your first change.

Just because the car is cool it doesnt mean the oil reading is right
let it sit for a WHILE.
