I had a friend drive my car today while I followed behind, and I noticed a good amount of smoke (white/grey) in color comming out of my exhaust. I have a 99 base model 5th gen. Its certified and the only performance mod i have so far is an AEM CAI. Is there something wrong? or is there anything I can do to stop this? I use the factory honda sythetic blend motor oil made by mobil 1.
thanks

 

I own a 99 type SH and I have the same problem under heavy acceloration..I am running stock except for a K&N filter in the stock intake box. Any 1 please help.

 

sounds like its burning oil. you in vtec when you noticing this?

 

This is actually normal, because of the high reving nature of the VTEC engines you are going to burn oil. The owners manaul states this as well.

Correct, most hondas, especially v-tec models tend to consume oil and smoke. When i had a prelude i went through roughly a quart for every thousand miles, oil consumption varies between cars and drivers.

 

ya..its high rpm v-tech range...it looks like crap and hoped it would be fixed...at least its not black smoke huh?

 

my car is so new, i dont think it should be consuming oil . It does look like **** and it bothers me so much

I wish there was something i could do about this problem!
