anyone help, recently bought civic type r. 2003. only had a month and has went through a litre of oil i have been told that they use oil?

thanks

 

im sorry but I literally LOL'd at this comment.

Vtec solenoid and motor oil are two seperate things. are there any leaks?

 

Yes, to your question/comment about VTEC using oil. Seems like you have a leak somewhere. Check for leaks and then Run a leakdown and compression test.

 

here mate i no that! i was quoting the car as vtec!

 

no there is no leaks at all but i have bn driving the car hard.dun 1000 miles in a mnth,

thanks

 

mate i was quoting the car as a vtec i no a bit about them

 

I love all the grammar. lol

I'd get an oil catch can and watch your blowby. Also try not hitting it everywhere and see ow the oil does.

 

do the ep3s use a lot of oil, i cant help hitin it bud lol

 

Its normal to burn a quart of oil every oil change... now if you are loosing more then that it could be many things from constantly being in VTEC, a leak, seals etc...

I use a thicker oil so I barely loose any oil but when the weeks I go to the track I do notice half a quart is losted.
BTW I use 5w40 Motul.
