Re: 1999 Prelude and burnt Oil
RJA,
Right! What BS, Honda know full well that 1qt/1000miles is a lot of oil & represents the extreme, which most would expect only after 150,000 miles of "hard driving" which in my experience these cars rarely see due to modern traffic congestion & other driving constraints. An endoscope can be used to examine cylinder wear & your valve seals could be worn but I'll bet you just have general advanced engine wear. I think I would sell the car.
