Id be more inclind to say check for external oil leaks. or a hole in your slump!

I filled up approx 2.5~L to get the oil to just below the top dot. Will turn my car on, and check in another 10 minutes
Compression test was done a couple of weeks ago, only drove down to supercheap to get spark plugs and the tester.
Check you oil pressure! And u not using homebrand oil or something r u?
No, hahaha! I ran Motul for a bit, am running Castrol Magnatec (10w-40) atm. I just did the 10 minute check, everything's fine, same amount of oil as there was just before I turned the car on.
Compression being good, id lean towards external leak.
Get a cheap white sheet from big w or something, and park the car on it overnight, in the morning, look for drops.
Fully degrease and clean the engine and engine bay, topside and bottom side, then look for oil seepage.
I've been checking recently, nothing on my driveway. I will degrease and clean the bay and pick up maybe a timber board of a white sheet. But I've also been told when people are behind me and I'm at WOT, there's a LOT of smoke coming out the rear, so I'm still seeing if it has anything to do with that. Thanks for the advice!
sounds like you got a leak somewhere
Is there soot on the back of the car? or oily stuff?
Sounds like you've got a major leak somwhere
Definitely does sound like you got a major leak somewhere... a very major one to be losing 2-3 litres of oil for a 3 hour drive. I thought i had it bad when i had blue smoke coming out the back of my old dc2 and even then i was barely burning any oil at all... get this checked out asap. you dont want to see your car fked up.
There's a lot of soot on the rear bar and on the boot as well. Yeah, I didn't install the oil filter with the wrench. Anyone know of a good Honda mechanic in the Brisbane area? Really do want to get this sorted asap
Honda work shop. If the cars still stock internals
