hey guys
noticed that my 2000 s2000 with 107,000klms on the clock is burning up the engine oil!
im using the mobile fully senthetic 10-30....in the time i did 4000klms it burnt up like 2L!
whats wrong?....oil too thin or the rings f*cked on it?
mods are: xforce headers, full remus system and k&n cai.
Some S2000 burn oil, it's just one of the common problems.
My friend 2001 s2000 burns oil as you can actually see the car blowing white smokes when pulling.
I think KrankVents could cure the problem but I'm not too sure about it as mine has no issue with burning oil.
do u mean it uses alot of oil? i have the same model s2k and i usually do a oil change every 5000kms.. i guess the harder u rev it the more times u hafta change the oil.
my 02 needs a top up every few fill ups at the servo
but by top up i mean for 5000km i use up whatevers remaining in the bottle of oil that i bought. less than 1L total
2L is quite a bit of oil from 4000kms. I can suggest you use a 10-40 oil and see if that helps
I'm using Mobil 1 5w30 and my oil level is always at the top X. It never burns oil, the oil just turns black after a while :D
In the US, Honda's limit for oil consumption is 1L/1000km. So he is still at 1/2 the limit. :)Quote:

It's the mobil 1 oil. Take it from me im a mechanic mobil 1 is shit! it burns in most cars if not all, use motul or genuine honda oil.
