unless his engine is new, then he will want to run normal 10w-30 in it until it is broken in.

Well if you're sure you're not burning then you better start looking for leaks. Front and rear main seals, oil pan, drain plug, oil filter, valve covers. Just remember nothing leaks upward so where-ever there is oil it's probably from above where it's sitting, not where it is sitting.

oil never leaks up huh? i've had a few cars that could spray oil from a leaking pan all the way up and coat the hood insulation.

Re: Integra GSR oil type
How much oil is it loosing? It is normal for a GSR to use some oil.

4 quarts a month!!!!! holy crap whats the point of changing the oil if you put 4 quarts a month in... but seriously that is way too much oil to loose. You need to have it checked out. because there may be a big problem. just for reference my integra has 170,000 miles on it and I'll use slightly more than 1 quart every 3000 miles or about 2 months.

Re: Integra GSR oil type
Yes 4 qts is way too much to be loosing. Do you have any oil puddles under the car after it has been sitting for a while? Is there any smoke when you drive the car?
