Default so i noticed....

my car seems to run alot better when it has oil in it. h:

it must be burning oil, no leaks anywhere, and every couple of months, i'm about 2 quarts low. it only smokes at high rpms, greyish smoke. i figured it was because i don't have a cat on it...

118k.

My dad's truck did the same thing. He was going through a quart of oil every week and a spark plug inCylinder 1 every Month. He then found out he blew a ring in Cylinder 1...so we swapped his motor for a brand new one.





I know his is a GM truck and yours is a Honda...but a motor is motor.
