Yeah, do remember, in order to be in VTEC you have to hit about 5500 rpms, and if you're hitting it hard and taking it to 7k I would certainly expect a little bit of oil blow by, its just the way Honda designed it, when I drive I typically dont hit VTEC unless I am passing someone. I almost never lose any oil, I'm very easy on my car though. Only lose the almost 1 qt. if I'm constantly hanging in VTEC....
