IS it normal to loose a little bit of oil under HARD driving EVERYDAY?

 

depends, if the engine is new or old (aka the condition of the engine) you shouldnt lose oil that fast, i can see u loose half a quart over a month or so if the engine is kind of old but not everyday

 

i loose oil like every 2 weeks

recently changed rings

 

how much oil do you lose, i had a problem with that, pull your plugs and check their condition

 

about 1/4 quart every 2 weeks

It does seem to be common with B18C(1/5) engines.

2000 GSR, no engine mods other than an AEM CAI.
Under normal driving, I burn maybe 1/4 quart between oil changes.
During auto-x, I can burn a 1/4 qt at an event.
During HPDE, I have to add a 1/4 qt at lunch for the afternoon.

 

thanks for chiming in

anyone else
