Just wondering if anyone have the same issue, so every 1,500 miles I drive, i notice that my engine burns oil and i have to put about half quart into it. is that natural....

 

welcome to integras

 

haha ok it's not just me..

 

1/2 quart every 1500 miles is not excessive consumption. Have you performed a compression test recently?

got the same deal. 60k mile b18c1. pos

 

its a honda... any honda will do this. dont worry about it, just dont forget to add some.

the problem as i understand it is the oil pressure on hondas is extremley high compared to other cars. this is needed for vtec to engage. like i said, dont worry about it.


another point is RX-7's, rotary's burn oil by design, theres no way to lubricate an apex seal and keep the oil from getting burnt.

 

ok so it's just it's normal , i just ask my uncle who sold me his gsr, he said it does the same thing when you travel alot. thanks guys.

 

yes it is natural for honda motors to burn oil... its just when you start blowing smoke that you have to worry
