Oil burning..plz help!!!
I am new to this. I just purchased a 93 honda prelude si 4ws..it has 121,000 miles on it. I am pretty clueless on cars. And I need some expert opinions on what could be wrong. I test drove the car, brought it to a mechanic before I purchased the car. I knew it needed tires, and a new radiator. The car runs fine..and but I have a question for all you brillant men and women out there..I just changed the oil on the car..and since then I have had a burning oil smell when I drive it or leave it running..I dont know if that is normal for an older car or not...it just freaks me out..
The second question I have is when I drive like 65 or 70 mph..my rpm's are at 3200 or so..I know this is a 4 cyl..and I used to drive an 03 eclipse that was a v-6 and when I drove that fast in the eclipse..It only rev'd to about 3000 rpm..what could be the problem with it revving so high..is that normal on a used car? Could it be the transmission (the car is an automatic)..
I am nervous because this is my first used car..and I would love to know more about cars..I like this car..and it rides good..I am just worried that it will have alot of problems that are going to creep up on me..I would appreciate anyone that could help..it would ease my mind..all my male friends have no clue on what is wrong..
Thanks
