Here's the story, I checked my dipstick and it showed the oil was about a quart low, so I ran to wally world, grabbed a quart of M1-5-30 and threw it in. After checking the dipstick later that day it was at least a quart over, it must have not been level the first time I checked :x I drove it for about 30 (very hard) miles w/ the oil too high. Now after I drained it and put the recommended 4.2 in, it seems to lag, especially in vtec. Above 5800, the engagement and engine scream is there, but the power isn't. Any suggestions as to what's causing this? Oil in the cylinders, busted seal? Any comments are appreciated in advance. -Ryan

Mine one day did the same thing so i paniced went to acura bought a quart of mobil 1 5w30 synthetic(thats what i use) came home and checked it and it seemed to be alright i never did add any oil but its held its level. When ever i do get my oil changed though i have acura reset the ECU. It always seems to give it a little extra power they may have been losed do to a bad tank of gas. That might help your situation.
