Honda Car Forum

i live i england and i have a honda accord es 2.0l vtech and it burns quite a lot of oil does any body else have the same problem. i think its because of the v-tech.its a very fast car and when i have it past 4,500 rpm it flyz.i am gettin a honda accord type r sw3333t

when you say burn oil do you mean you smell it from the exhaust? if you see black but usually blue smoke or smell oil burning it is probably the rings. if your cars spits and sputters or skips at idle or low speed it may be the seals on your valves. i had a honda that kept fouling the plugs and it had a bad ring seal that was allowing the oil to be thrown up on the bottom of the plug. yes the car would still fly but would act up on the low end.if you see no smoke or smell no oil your car isn't actually burning it. in that case park the car on the level and put a big piece of cardboard under it. that way you can see if it is leaking oil rather than burning it. you can tell about where it is leaking by where it lands on the cardboard.do you change the oil as recommended. if not leaving the oil in for an extended period will make the car "burn" the oil because it's viscosity is too low and the motor actually cooks the oil as it heats up.check the top of the motor for old oil.also i once had the oil filter spring a leak. check that. if you had the oil changed check to see(if so equipped) the place put the gasket or washer back on the dran plug in your oil pain that happened to me once. also with thge car running check the oil pan for a smell pin hole leaking or rust. it could be a worn out pan seal or valve cover gasket as well.

i drove my accord till i had 225,000 miles on it and it still ran great. the one problem i did have was a small oil leak as it got older. check the little bolt on top of the head. if it isnt tight tighten it . it never caused any other problems in my accord i just had to make sure i checked it once in a while

Hi, first of all sorry for my english.
I have a 1998 honda accord with a 2.3 L Vtech Doch. i bought it used with around 140000km. The car run well but it also burn oil. There is no leak and no smoke comes out of the exaust.
Between each oil change (5000km) i can put a full paint to keep it to the correct level.
i've read that vtech can burn more oil then usual motor because of the oil pressure that require to run the motor...???
Can some one have an explanation for me????
I would be really great.

Thank you all.
