most preludes get that...I've heard that it can be running too rich, burning oil, all sorts of things...as long as it isn't blue from what I've heard

vtec is what burns your oil faster because the valves are open longer. Hit vtec only when you need it...do do it evertime you are going thorugh the gears...shift aroun 3-4000 rpms and your oil consumption will go down.
