Burning Oil

[JDMmikE]

Is it possible to burn 2 quarts of oil over night? Was it the racing or do I have a very serious problem :???:

There are no leaks but I do have some smoke from the exhaust but that’s because I have no cat. I did drive the car really hard last night, dragged like maybe 10 times, and constantly hitting vtec throughout the night... I don't know if vtec burns oil?

I checked my oil before I went out it was perfect and then I checked it this morning and it was between the 2 holes on the dipstick...

you seriously have a oil problem. Check your piston rings.

Okay I took it to the Acura dealer and he said it was normal if I raced the car all night. He said I burned approximately a half of court of oil. I might change the oil later today when it gets colder outside lol…. My friend told me to put Lucas in the oil… what is Lucas? And what does it do?

lucas additive increases the viscosity( i think thats how you spell it) of your oil. my best friends dad uses it in his stingray ...i m not sure how that would help your situation though.

What kind of oil are you using? Oil WILL burn in VTEC, especially if you're using Mobil 1 5W30. Lucas is an oil stabilizer, won't really help that much as constant VTEC will still burn oil.

Wow

So should I use regular oil or synthetic right now I use mobile 1? If I use Lucas do I only get put in 3 quarts of oil?

If you've been using Mobil 1 synthetic, then keep putting that in there. I'm just letting you know that burning oil is normal while driving in VTEC, it's just that Mobil 1 5W30 likes to burn a little easier. You don't really need Lucas.

should be at the top hole.. but between it's kind of OK.
