Your shit is probably fucked ("Shit" may be one of three things or a combination: Bad piston rings, Bad valve seals, bad valve guides). Is there ANYTHING else abnormal happening?

It wouldnt be the pistons themselves, just the oil or compression rings. How fast are you losing oil?

Default Re: 2000 Civic EX BURNING OIL NEED HELP!!!!!

Im not 2 sure of much oil im losen i just bought the car yesterday. Its had a new cad. converter and timeing belt and the oil pan was replaced. its not leaking under the car just out the exhaust. Its not as bad if i stay at low rpms but if hit vtech than u can really smell it.

Does anybody know if i use a higher oil weight if that would help slow the comsumption of oil or use that RESTORE stuff to help until i save up some cash?

sounds like valve stem seals. or it's the fact that it's a honda...

DONT PUT STOPLEAK IN YOUR ENGINE! unless you want to rebuild/buy another motor.
