Oil burn problem
Hey everyone
I have a 2000 Acura 1.6 EL Sport and I am going through a litre of oil a week. There is no oil underneath the car, so it not leaking, but yet I never smell it burning. ANyone have any suggestions of what to look at about this?

go do an oil change and throw some lucas in it or some bardahl. will or should almost stop it from disappearing instantly. i've been using this stuff ever since i bought my 1st honda, helps very much.

A little late to the party here but Rislone does wonders for freeing up sticking rings. Like the others have mentioned, Seafoam should work as well.
A few quick question to give a better understanding of yoru car's situation. How many KMs do you put on your car in a week of driving? is it City KM or Hwy KM as it does make a difference. That said, IF(!) the car was treated correctly by its previous owners(s) 1 quart per week is excessive for a car with 177K on it.

Hey
Thanks for your reply
I was putting about 1200km/week on it, but it was all highway and I didn't drive the car hard. Now I am putting 500km/week on it and it is still the same situation. When I get my oil change in a few weeks, I may try Seafoam or Rislone as you mentioned.
