i have a 2000 honda accord the oil burn too fast, whats the problem?

Probably emmision controls. You should get a diagnostic run on it to see if it is showing any codes for things like the PCV valve. It could be sucking too much oil fumes through. Or, it could have bad rings, though it isn't likely unless it has a lot of miles on it.

Can't see it and lack all the info. If it is a continuous burn of blue smoke out the tailpipe it is either a stuck PCV valve or bad rings. Compression test will tell if rings.If the car puffs blue between shifts, valves most likely. Take to any mechanic shop and let them take a look and get an estimate.

either a bad piston ring or you have a massive leak somewhere.check if you have blue smoke coming out of your tailpipe.bad piston ring would mean you'd need to rebuild your engine head, which means you'd probably want to rebuild the entire engine since most of internals are disassembled.i've known lot of people who just live with oil burns though. (as long as you keep adding oil) think about how much the car is worth and how long you're goin to keep it and see if it can justify couple thousand dollars of repair cost.
