EXACTLY what mine does..

 

you guys are lucky, i got my type r motor from a shop, from his buddy and ive had it for almost a year and a half, put about 40k on it and it burns 4 quarts or more every oil change

 

Do you notice smoke? At startup? At WOT?

 

change back to a different oil?

aside from smelling it, do you ever see smoke?

 

Decel=valve seals

 

no i dont see smoke from inside the car or at start up...i have never had someone drive away from me either. i do smell a little under WOT but not as bad as on decel

 

bump

 

Question was answered above. Can't bump in the forum.

That's well within expectations, especially if you're redlining/VTEC'ing the engine regularly.
Maybe go to a thicker oil (in the summer) if you want an "easy" solution.

 

mine does the same thing, burns about the same amount, no smoking that I can notice. this started after running mobil one. nothing against mobil but was too thin for me. I now use regular mobil 5w30 and burn alot less then with synthetic
