Is it possible that the car doesn't have a catalytic converter?

It is normal for a little oil consumption when in VTEC.

If you're smelling oil from the cabin, it may have an exhaust leak. Also, check the valve cover plug seals by pulling the plugs to make sure they're not covered in oil.

You really shouldn't be smelling it from inside the cabin.
