Need some advice please.
Have a 3S-FE motor in an 2003 Honda with 130,000klms.
Its starting to use oil at a rate of high mark on the dipstick to low mark about every 7 to 8 months.
The engine is clean and dry - absolutely no oil leaks anywhere.
There is no white smoke on start up hot or cold.
There is no smoke under load up hills, nor under a trailing throttle down hills, so I'm unable to determine the cause.
No water/oil mix in the radiator. Engine ultra reliable with good performance and fuel economy.

Are these engines prone for any particular problems such as oil rings or valve guides or anything else that might be burning oil?

Appreciate anyones experience.
