Loseing oil!!! HARD!!!

[TRU32U]

hey guys f20c is loseing oil, engines done 40 000kms
losing about 2.5 3L per forgghtnight.
any ideas on what it is?
no its not burning oil and no oil on the ground where i park it.
what the hell could it be~!!!

[.::F[L]Y::.]

how can the car be losing oil if its not burning it or leaking????

maybe the magic oil fairy came and took it out?

like seriously...losing 2.5-3L per fortnight is heaps. how many kms does the car travel? What driving style?

[SKREMN]

it has to do one or the other burn or leak
it dosnt evaporate
you got a major problem/leak
how is your radiator flud?

try gettting a oil catch tank maybe see if anything is escaping?

[fatboyz39]

thats game over for a engine if its using that much oil.

Seriously get it checked immediately by a pro.

yeah planning on takin it to hannys today
anyone got the addie?
well i dont see any oil on the floor where its parked, and its not burning oil.
driven shift points are 3, 4k.

how do you know its not burning any??? Pull your plugs out and see if they're covered in it...

i was told that through heavy driving the f20c will burn about 1.7 litres per 1000kms and the k20a will drink 1 to 1.2 litres. i am having the same problem with my k20a where it is losing about 1 litre per 1000kms. i didnt think this was right either.

Maybe the rings need some attention?

Are you serious!!!!

What have they done to make this happen???

damn!!!

[ECU-MAN]

you must be driving it hard, alot

look at the engine, 2l producing 176kw , 4cyl. these engines have real short piston skirts. something has to give.

its known that they use oil, but maybe in your case its a bit much, maybe you should drive it like a granny for 2 weeks and see if there is a difference in oil consumption.

i have taken my s2k to 2 track days, and on both trackdays i have checked the oil levels and it barely went down, wasnt even noticeable. Im aware honda engines burn oil as this happend when i use to have my em1 but it only burned abit. Burning oil could also come down to how the car was broken in.

obviously you will burn a small amount of oil from vapours going from teh crankcase up into the air intake and into the chamber, this is what a catch can avoids, but that much oil i would say that there is somethin seriously wrong man... piston rings for sure at least..
