every 2k miles i have to fill up on oil now. i just now noticed this happend ever since i misshifted but 2 months ago. i was just wondering if it was just rings i would need to replace? my motor still runs fine and everything just burn alot of oil when i get on it. but i dont seem to see oil from the exhuast or smell it. no leaks from the oil filter ethier. i noticed that my oil pan has a very small leak but not enough to make it lose 3 quarts of oil every 2k miles

 

valves or piston rings due to misshift.

 

damn it. i was going to turbo next month too for the 1k deal i had going on. i might aswell save for a k20a2 now. ugh

 

compression or leak down will tell you for sure. leak down would be the best.

 

also what kind of oil and weight are you using? I know mobil 1 burns quickly when I use it and I'm just k20a3 with bolt ons.

 

not at the rate he is burning. 3 quarts every 2k miles is a lot. that means he is going through 7.5 quarts of oil every 5k miles. An oil change only goes through 5 quarts.

 

5-20 mobil one stuff

 

did you get your leakdown or compression test done?

 

no i havent gotten a chance becuase my shop teacher was out so i had a sub and all we did was book work so i didnt get a chance to bring my car in and put it on a lift and inspect every for leaks or do the test. i will post results as soon as i can

 

3 quarts every 2k miles? I find that hard to believe especially with not having leaks. Are you ripping through gears and beating the hell out of your car from a cold start up? That is a tremendous amount of oil. I would suggest taking that thousand dollars and going to the dealership to see what they find. GL

 

thats happens 2 me 2,do u ever get check engine lights on and ur car wont rev past 4000rpm???

 

your car is in limp mode. go to autozone or some place similar and they will scan it for free.

 

i know the code is P1259 i took my car to a shop and they check the oil pressure and said everything was fine then after 2000 miles 3 quarts of my oil was gone and they told be that the pcv valve had oil and told me that changin that might fix the problem im havent had the cel on since then but if it does come back on what do u guys think the problem might be?

 

lol...your right..

he must be in v-tec all the time...lol...

 

Haha^^ So, I'm really curious to see how this is possible. I drive my car pretty hard but the most I've ever burned between an oil change is maybe a half quart. Do you guys ever shift? Or maybe you just drive in 2nd or 3rd the whole time just in case someone rolls up on you, you can just be ready to go lol. Seriously though, I'm curious.

 

yep lol im always on vtec on 2 or 3 gear in case anyone rolls up

 

^^^^^^ all to de above lol always ready for someone to roll up haha

 

we gave you options. we already told you to check it out. not going to help someone who isn't willing to listen.

 

Well, I know this is not going to help but when I was using mobil 1 in my ep I normally burn about 1 quart at 5k Miles...Then changed to Royal Purple 5w30 and so far so good no more oil burning...It stays full the day it goes in and the day it goes out for oil change.

 

Hahaha, he doesnt go over 57mph so he can get the pull on some unsuspecting mustang.

... royal purple!? is it awesome spending 20472140 dollars every 3 months?

 

I bet it's better than paying/performing for more work on the car later on down the road due to cheap crappy oils not protecting the motor enough.

 

honda engines last 200k+ miles on dino oil, so your argument is kind of null.

 

no i did listen and i did the compressson test and i need new RINGS!. lol my car runs fine now and doesnt really burn anyoil that bad unless im in higher rpms all the time. i have 1500 saved up but i wanna spend it wisely. ethier new rings or save some more for a a2 swap. what do u think?

 

i think you crazy.

 

same person or different people?
