Yes I think so.. but I'm not really sure why it is. I ocassionaly hit vtec (only 3 times in the last 3000k) and my oil stay in the same level :)

I've kept my car from 4500 to 7300rpm for a total of 90 minutes in one day during track and I didn't burn oil. It depends how well the first owner looked after the engine and whether you let the engine warm up before you start fanging it.

yeh ive been hittin vtec alot , i was racing my mates r33 turbo(no not on the streets at our track), his skyline was a auto..mine was a manaul it was a fair race but.. when his boost was finished, my vtec was still goin so i was up a lil bit...anyways i went to the honda dealer i asked for the PCV valve or something 43$ :) .. or could you tell me the actuall name for it again? What do i need?...

Why dont you take it to someone to diagnose the problem first before buying parts?

coz these days everywere u take it dont know much about the cars.. all old time mechanics. and not much honda guys out there.. and original dealers cost heaps

PCV valve is right. But you don't need to get it from Honda. A generic one should cost you like $10-15. It's just a fitting with a 1-way spring door in it. Just make sure you get the right spring strength (or just PM destrukshn :) )

Geraus: I just found this thread from www.preludeaustralia.com

seems there's oil leak problem for 97 model:

Oil leak: Sudden oil loss and resultant severe engine damage could be the result of front balance shaft oil plug popping out. (1997)

Cool thanks :)

you will know if the balance shaft pops out, you would lose 5 litres in like 5 minutes.
