I think my car is burning oil like crazy, is it normal? I have a 2000 GSR. On each oil change i fill it up to the second mark. And I change my oil every 3 months. When i check the oil before changing it, it's always below the first mark. Is this normal?? Thanks.

Have you checked for any leaks?

I have a 2000 GSR and i go through that much oil but i blew out my rings, if i were you i would take every thing off the car (put it to stock) and take it to your local ACURA dealership and tell them to fix this shit for free b/c you should still have warranty on your car. I have been to acura 4 times for my tranny and a whole bunch of other dumb shit messed up w/ my car.

hey blownGSR, that is a nice car. i'd kill to have a nice daily driven 13 and a half second GSR. and yeah maybe you blew out a piston ring or two...is your exhaust blue/black at a lot of times? do you ever notice oil underneath your car? check everything for leaks too.

thanks for the input everyone, greatly appreciated....but i had check and it doesn't seem like there's an oil leakage:confused: ....also, all i have under the hood are an AEM intake and an AEM fuel rail and regulator, can I bring it back to acura for them to check on the oil issue w/o putting the stock parts back on? Anyone work for acura?:rolleyes:
