There might have been smoke as well but was dark. Just curious, are all VTEC motors like this? I never noticed it from my FN2 despite regular thrashing.
Could it be cold? Or just a shagged engine? I have to say as a petrolhead I found the smell quite nice actually. Check your driveway or the garage floor for oil spots. Again, there are plenty of reasons for your engine to use oil, these are just a few I changed the spark plugs and wires today.
And there isnt any smoke coming out of the exhuast and it isnt leaking. I jus got my throttle body cleaned last week so my engine shakes now but its normal.
That does sound like a good start. Yes, the Vtec's are known for that. Again, if nothing else, check the rings 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. Or dont beat on your car so hard. Lol, I tried to say quit hittin vtec so much, but my phone is gay lol 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.
