Nah, engine was not cold. I see a big cloud come out when I give it some, just can't really determine the colour. But yeah, sometimes it's to the point where I can see it illuminated by the car behind me at night
same thing happened with my old car. Was the rings/value seals. Sold the car before it needed a rebuild. Buyer was aware of this and didnt seem to be bothered with topping it up once every few weeks
When you say not cold, how long after driving did you wait before you checked the oil?
Your cars fine, your being paranoid.
Put a thicker oil. 5-30,10-30 is too thin
Especially if your hitting vtec or staying in vtec in summer.
Piston rings may be wearing out, but same with every other motor after a high amount of Km's or thrashing.
Don't stress, Do a compression test to make sure.
Put 15-40,15-50w.
As well change your spark plugs.
Who did the last oil change, because they probly didn't double check the oil after they started it up, oil does go around .5 litres lower after you start it up from 4 litres if they drained it out nicely.
You are burning oil. If its pushing out that much in neutral. It will do alot more in gear under pressure! best bet as said above. use thicker oil. Check oil every couple of days. And either sell it. Or rebuild it when she needs it in the future! Try a 10-40, You dont wont to go to thick. And insure you keep the 1st number at 15 or less. As you dont wont the oil to thick at start up!
Thanks guys. I am now considering selling the car, rebuilding it or doing an engine conversion to it. I just did an oil change yesterday, and am running Nulon 15w-50, will have to see how that goes as well
Your car seems fine to me... compared to my white integra back in the day. You got nothing on me!!
