I recently purchased a 97 Honda Prelude (2.2L H22A VTEC) with 217k miles on it. The car sees almost exclusively track time -- the only other time it is driven is to/from track events. Right now I'm on a fill of Mobil 1 5w30, and have been to two track events so far. I've yet to get a UOA done on this engine, but I've been trying to figure out what oil to replace it with (or if I should even change).
The engine does consume some oil.. I topped it off after every couple of track sessions (25 min each) over the course of a weekend. From what I've read and from others I've talked to, some consumption is "normal" for this engine especially with high VTEC usage.
Would I be better off with something like a 0w40? Should I just continue with the M1 5w30?
