I'v changed the spark plugs, wires should be resolved. Good Luck to you and your Honda. What if I have changed the pcv valve and have no visible exhaust? My 05 accord ex burns about a quart every miles. My 98 Accord starting losing oil in at around k miles. I wasn't aware of the problem until the Walmart auto customer rep paged me about it. It was almost out of oil when they changed the oil and filter. It was losing about a quart every thousand miles.
I spent several thousand bucks to attempt to have it fixed, but to no avail. Goodyear opted to replace the distributor, stating that the distributor has a part that goes into the oil pan. My opinion about Goodyear could fill a book. I never saw or smelled what could be construed as burning oil from the tail pipe, yet the oil loss continued.
Mind you, this car was costing me several thousand a year to maintain and probably cost me 5 grand in the last year of ownership. I finally gave it up and bought a new car, a Accord V6 of all things. It finally dawned on me what the likely cause was. After numerous oil changes, the filter screw wears out. In fact, Goodyear had to rebore it to make the new filter fit. They stated that an inept mechanic probably misfitted a filter and caused the plug screw to misalign.
I will bet that the oil loss was caused by the reboring. I remember seeing oil leaks on the driveway. It will only worsen at highway speeds. Found out that 5w20 was the best choice back in , but after research.. Another option is napa sells Jim's engine oil treatment. Alvi84 New Member. Still shouldn't burn that much oil just cause you're using vtec.
Check the vtec sylenoid gasket, cam seals, vavle cover gasket, spark plug gromets, oil pan gasket, and if no leaks then most likely you are in need of piston rings and vavle stem seals. It has under 8k miles on the rebuild, I literally changed out almost everything, click on my build thread in my sig.
The rings take up to 10k to seal all the way, that's why I'm losing so much. Rock rings suck for that reason, but they last forever after they seal. Chrome top rings are a bitch. Alvi84 said:.
So if VTEC burns so much oil, how do race cars last on the track? Im pretty sure they dont call in to the pit and say "Im low on oil!
I need a refill when I come in for gas! There no magical fix it additive. This is indicative of the engine not being maintained properly and needing internal work. Our cars burn oil in VTEC due to age and deterioration of the rings It over oiles to protect the cams. Thats why you have to check the oil level often if you Vtec alot. GTRalex 83 posts months. Older B series engines as said do often kick a bit of smoke out so you will smell it. My ep3 when using vtec a lot i can get through 1L of oil in a month.

It went bang though, so I'm fairly sure that particular case would count as ''abnormal' oil consumption JdmRacer 40 posts months. Any good b series engine should burn a lot of oil but on the smoke my one only smokes on takeoff wit the launch control.
