VTEC loves oil?

[Riviera_TypeS]

Does VTEC use up heaps of oil? What would be the suggested interval of oil change for casual (plus fun) use (no tracking)?

Cheers

[EuroDude]

Yes VTEC uses oil. You shouldnt need to change the oil more often unless you VTAK 50 times a day lol

[ZeForce]

VTEC uses oil pressure to engage, it doesnt actually consume oil in the process.....

VTEC doesn't consume oil.

Running your engine at high RPM consumes oil.

yep agreed... only time mine loses oil are the days when i do a lot of 7krpm+ drives... definitely needed oil catch

agreed and wen ur running vtakkkkkk ur usually at high revs anyway, unless u always shift round 5.5 LOL den it wud be vtak and not vtaaaakkkkkk

so i guess u cud say that in a sense vtec does consume oil coz ur running high rpm coz of vtec

[dsp26]

what he means is not really in vtec... even if vtec is turned off... it's because there are higher cylinder pressures that leak past the piston rings into the crankcase at very high rpm... this is what causes blow-by and loss of oil as it gets transferred back to your intake manifold via PCV and gets burned into "clean" combustion... which is questionable anyway... don't know why unvented oil catch cans aren't legal....

[Limbo]

yeah try explain it to the police when they they think you have a filter on your injector body cos they don't know what it is and then defect you for it!.

Yeah i can't understand it cos its actually better for the enviornment if you use a catch can. Guess if you didn't know what it was like most drivers you would overflow it and then leak oil everywhere

Yeah i can't understand it cos its actually better for the enviornment if you use a catch can.

Not really.... burning the oil off is better than having raw hydrocarbons pumped into the atmosphere.

You could use black tubing, spray the can black and locate it in a hidden area.

yeah but i was talking about unvented catch cans which are just filter inbetween the intake mani and pcv valve... you would empty and dispose of it like you would when you change oil and pour into an empty container.

def my next mod.. just trying to find a suitable location.
