Hey all,
I have a 99 Prelude (2.2L VTEC) with an interesting oil consumption problem.
First off, I use 5W-30 Havoline conventional oil with OEM Honda filters. The odo is at 45K miles.
After I change my oil, I have incredible oil consumption for about the first 500 miles (about 1 quart.) Then, it tapers off to not consuming any until the next oil and filter change, when it does the same thing.
Is this a result of the fresh oil being burned until the viscocity increases as it ages? Could going to a 10W-30 help this? Any other Prelude owners have any ideas?
