Check your rear view mirror. That big cloud of smoke following you around - that's where your oil is going!

Seriousely, if it aint leaking it, it must be burning it.

Jesus H Christ, if it's going through oil at that rate then your in need of some valve oil stem seals and possibly piston rings if it's going through it at that rate!

My B16 usually uses about 2 litres per 4-5000 miles of hard driving (up near 9k and hours of motorway driving at 5k), take that as a guide as that is an engine that uses no more oil than it should due to the nature of vtec engines

The desigh of the H22 engine over oils in vtec,so if are driving the car at hi revs.it will burn oil.At 114k miles maybe a head overhall is required.

[report] [news] Tuesday Jesus H Christ, if it's going through oil at that rate then your in need of some valve oil stem seals and possibly piston rings if it's going through it at that rate! = a cylinder head overhall.


Then if it is still burning oil,Piston rings after a rebore.
