141000km
i go through about 300ml per 1000km - hard driving

 

bumppppp

 

ill have to measure the stuff on my bumper lol

 

People are probably wondering what a "ml" is. But that does sound like its using a bit. How many ml between the top and bottom dots on dipstick?

 

isn't a quart every 1200-1800miles kind of the average?

 

My R motor (97 spec HMO) loses, burns, and/or consumes no oil to my knowledge.. I check the dipstick often and there is no difference between oil changes. I wouldn't say 300mL's is bad for 1000miles of hard driving, but that is a quart every oil change. My other 01 ITR motor burns oil, about a quart per oil change so that is fairly typical but not a factory specification; bad piston rings or valvesteam seals maybe?

 

i put in a quart a week to week and half... i just installed new rings about 15k ago, but it's also my dd and im very hard on the motor...

 

Don't forget that blowby tends to contaminate engine oil and effectively "add" to your oil supply. If your oil turns coffee colored relatively quickly, it probbaly means you're burning oil and replenishing the supply with contaminants.

I have never seen a DOHC VTEC engine not burn oil under hard driving on the street or track.

 

It's one quart between the top and bottom dots. I don't know about metric countries, but if they probably sell oil in liter bottles, then it's probably one liter between the top and bottom dots.

Translation: he has 88,000 miles on the car, and goes through one quart every 2000 miles.

You're not consuming very much oil. Don't worry about it.

 

I burn 2 litres or more between oil changes (approx. 5,000 km), daily driver. No black smoke through the tail pipe but there's black haze on the bumper where the exhaust is (no catalytic converter will add to this effect).

 

probably about 3/4 of oil on the dipstick

 

135K miles, burns no oil that I'm aware of. No smoke out back, except small amount during the vtec switch-on, about 1 out of 20 times.

Daily driver.

 

I change my oil and filter every 2500 miles on the dot! I use Mobil1 fully synthetic 10w30 and a HAMP filter. I DD my 97 R and it gets driven hard at least once a week. From what i've gathered, it doesnt burn hardly any oil. Never measured very precisely but it always comes out still looking like honey. My R has had a lot of preventive maintainence and runs very healthy. Like the others said, you dont seem to be burning very much at all so i wouldnt sweat it if i were you!
