Re: '00 Civic EX using oil
That makes the most sense. Now, some new questions. I assume replacing the piston rings would fix this problem. Is it worth it to do this or should I just keep topping the oil off? I also assume that it will progressively get worse? I've heard of others going to a heavier weight oil to help with this. Is this a good idea? I know 5W-30 is the recommended weight for this engine. Is using a full synthetic worthwhile now that I know I am slowly burning it? Or would going to a conventional oil only make it worse? Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to find the best course of action. Thanks again.
