how much oil did you car burn?
1 qt/3K miles is normal for me, but sometimes as much as 1.5qts. Usually don't burn any until about 2K miles after the oil change, then I can't seem to keep oil in the car 
To reduce oil consumption....
1. Switch from synthetic to conventional motor oil. It's not a slippery and won't burn as easily (under normal use).
or
2. Go to a higher weight oil (40/50 as opposed to 30). I believe Castrol has a 5W-50 synthetic. You won't make as much hp, but your engine will be better protected.

every 4 nights of redlines, one liter of castrol TXT
but it depends on how hard you drive your car and the kind of oil you use. the better the oil, the more it burns.

Your valve seals may be gone or going........Piston rings may also be fried...Do a compression test, then leakdown test to pinpoint the exact cause.
Oh yea, and if you are driving in VTEC all day, then expect to shell out for lots of quarts of oil.

1.5 quarts between changes. i'm running synthetic and an aem. i've been told i either have blow-by past the rings, or the breather hose from my valve cover to the aem is sucking everything out of the head, judging from the oily mess i have in my manifold and tb

Burned only about a quarter quart between oil changes but only hit VTEC once or twice a week. Last change burned about 3/4 quart with an average of VTEC once a day. Mobil-1 Synthetic 5W-30.
