yep 5 mins after you turn off a warmed up engine.
so can anybody confirm that b18c's drink a lot of oil when pushed hard? i've been told its a well known issue..
confirmation?

i find that u can even check the oil when its cold (just seems to be the most accurate for me)
its just as long as there isnt oil still in the head etc. (takes 5 mins or so for oil to drip back down)
with B18C's i find some engines consume quite some oil when u fang it, while there are examples of B18C's R that hardly take any oil after a hard drive...
i think possible things that may lead to oil consumption
valve stem seals
PCV (positive crank ventilation?) valves apparently when old can lead to
oil consumption
think these maybe the common problems...
then maybe piston rings?
my Dc2r Will use all its oil in around 3000kms, Thats like 1ltr/1000kms, ive only got 65xxx kms on the clock
any VTEC motor seems to use abit more oil than the non VTEC counterparts.
The B18cX is no different. IF you keep the engine in the upper RPM's then it will use up oil via the PVC , the rings etc. Just change it every 5,000ks like normal and bring a 1 litre container to top up at "spirited driving" events :)
