88 Honda CRX Si Out: 4 qts of Valvoline Maxlife 5w-30, WIX filter In: 4 qts of Mobil 1 0w-30, WIX filter

I have also done more work to this car than I had mentioned. I have changed the valve cover gasket becasue the #2 spark plug well was filling with oil so I just did the whole job. The head looks decently clean under the cover, just some somewhat burned on oil. I haven't adjusted the valves, but...

In regards to the leaking, it is a very small leak on the back side of the motor. I am not 100% sure where it is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is just a leaking oil pan. The leak is something that I can fix and i'm not concerned about it, I was just using it as a reference for how much it...

Alright, so as the title mentions, I have a 1988 Honda CRX Si with 230,000 miles on it. It leaks more oil than it burns. Over 5,000 miles, it needs about a quart or two (I can't remember which). I got the car around 224,000 miles and I don't know how well the car was maintained before I got it...
