I'm glad to see this thread
I posted questions about my 5th gen burning oil on another website and got back nothing but oh it must mean you're running in VTEC mode driving on the Autobahn. The truth is that I don't run in VTEC that much unless I actually get to drive over 100mph or I take to long to switch gears. My has burned oil since the first oil change and it doesn't matter how heavy the oil is. I've used the recommended 5w20 and currently it has 0w20 (Mobil 1 synch of course), I still burned a qt of oil before my last oil change. So in short, I'm glad to know it's is not just my car.
