just want to know wat would cause the engine to chew up engine oil??
vtec ? supposively keeping ur car in that rpm range seems to cause more oil to go through ur pcv valve and into ur intake to get combusted.
therefore slowly losing oil
either that or u have a leak somewhere .. sump plug .. cam seal.. rocker cover seal ... crank seal... sump gasket .. warped head or blown head gasket ...
it could be newhere ..
nah .. sohc non vtec... so how can i find out where is the leak comin from?
replace your PCV (located on the inlet manifold) ~ ive read up it should be replaced ever 40,000kms or so and does affect fuel and oil consumption...relevant to blowby/vacuum and reducing the octance rating with excess oil in the intake
Otherwise valve stem seals or piston rings or a banana up ur 1.20 package.
thats too technical for me.. i m a noob la....Quote:
