Integra DC2 vti-R Engine Oil consumption

[B18cEG]

You should check your oil level every 2 weeks.

If blowby is the cause of your oil consumption (oil pushed through the PCV and burnt in the combustion chamber), then 10w-30 and 10w-40 will burn a similar amount in that particular engine.

Blowback through the PCV is a great point, if u have the know-how undo ur throttle body and look into ur intake manifold and wipe ur finger inside it, notice how there is alot of oil/gunk on the walls of the manifold, i would say that everyone with this same problem/issue should invest in a oil catch can, they do a great job. Also get a compression test to get a good idea of the condition of ur rings.

Good luck man

my dc2 uses hardly any oil, i check it regularly on the dipstick

the oils fully synthetic 10W-40

is that normal?

That's better than normal. If my dc2 didn't burn any oil, I'd be happy.

haha hooray for me!

i thinks its normal my b18 non vtec burns heaps of oil if i am constantly high reving one week like a 800mls is missing but if i cruise around it will not even use a drop the whole week i rekon it is in the way u drive also if u use ur gears to slow down that burns heaps aswell too... valve stem seals can casue loss of oil too i just put new ones in but i havent had them in long enough to tell if it has made any improvment

^will downshifting through gears really cause oil to burn faster?

To an extent...It will as opposed to shifting into neutral and using the brakes as when you use the engine to slow down the engine increases in rpm (naturally) thus causing higher oil pressures etc.

Honda's do tend to burn alot of oil if driven hard expessially at high rpm, im sure it's similar with other cars too.

i think it depends alot of the km's on the car and how much you use high revs. ie. high km on engine + thin oil + high vtecing = faster oil burning.

Maybe try using thicker oil to reduce consumption.

my vtir is on 123xxx km but doesnt use much oil

to be honest with my car iv noticed that every time i use motul i have high oil combustion where as if i use a full syntech oil (cheaper too ) it doesnt burn up as much. not that im saying motul is a bad oil dont get me wrong.

i love driving at high revs so i always go with a 10w-40. just in case you didnt know koevi 10w is the viscocity of the oil before heating up. 40 is the viscocity of the oil after heating up. so best pick one that suits your driving style. try a full sync oil 10w-40 and see if your burning up more oil.

hi guys im a diesel fitter by trade and it sound to me like these oils Ur running are to thin 4 are car that's done 150 000ks or so i have a da9 which i use a 15w 50 mobile one and i don't use a drop if i use 10ww 40 magnatec i use oil not 2lt in 5000ks but that's a lot 4 any car unless turbo. as engines wear u use more oil that's why i changed viscosity is just takes a little more before it thins out only thing mobile 1 is $12 a litre hope this helps

110,000km's, B18C7... tracked quite often. Doesn't burn a drop... even on the track. I <3 my DC2R

well heres a question? do you stay on high revs or low revs. that does in turn make up a difference. besides a 15w-50 is a little to thick to run on high revs. it also comes down to how often you service your car to br0. if a 5k service is done all the time id always stick with 10w-40. besides whats wrong with magnatec???????
