lots of time in VTEC=Lots of oil burnt
I lose about 1 quart every 1000 miles, hard driving. Did a compression and leakdown test and everything was fine. Have no clue where it went

 

somewhat normal...

mileage?

have you replaced your PVC valve?

catch can time?

 

test pipe on ?

 

yup.

-who burns twice as much oil when using a test pipe.

 

This one is new to me. What is the reasoning behind this? Increase exhaust flow equals increase oil burnt? What about those with high flow cats, same thing?

 

same for me.

 

not sure why.... but it does.. the smell =

I guess extra time at 8000+ on track = oil eating anyway... but the lack of back pressure may have something to do with it.

That's why I opted for the high flow cat. I haven't noticed more oil burnt because of it.

-Tommy who can't stand driving behind a vehicle equipped with a test pipe.

 

yup...
my second highflow cat should be here Thursday.

 

Second? what happened to your first one?

I have the 94006, clearance was the only problem I have had (which has be fixed).

 

its on my car , small rattle once in awhile

 

get a catchcan

I burn mad oil too

 

This is normal. Just check your oil periodically when you're at the track.

BTW...

Mobil (actually, ExxonMobil Corporation) does not make an oil called Syntech. And they don't make any oil in Mobile, Alabama. But Mobil makes a synthetic oil called Mobil 1, and Castrol makes a synthetic oil called Castrol Syntec.

 

i have no vtec and i burn oil... at 3k miles, i checked my oil before the oil change and i barely had enough to drive the car without damaging it.

 

what that guy said /\/\

 

I did burn about 1 litre every 1000miles too (72K on engine), thought it might have been bad valve seals but it turned out the oil rings were fairly cooked, so replaced them and every other seal and gasket in the head plus comp rings, now no more burning oil at all!!!

Sounds normal to me. Keep using that Castrol at the track....

 

You drive to hard man...hee hee

Same here too tho....so I think its normal

 

are you saying CatchCan can help in burn oil situation ??

 

i do use a oil catch can, and i do run on test pipe

but still it burnt one full quart of oil, not once but twice.

so i think its just normal than....

C-Mugen R, we had a good time on Saturday's Streets of Willow
