2004 with 11k miles, haven't burned any so far since switching to synthetic. Castrol Syntec 10w40.

Before that I was using the recommended Motorcraft 10w40 oil and didn't burn any either.

I autox and am vtec'ing occasionally as well.

AP2s don't seem to burn oil as much as AP1s I don't think ... I don't remember exactly why (different prep on the heads?) but there was a reason the newer engines don't burn oil. A new F20C engine (either in a Euro S2000 or a replacement part) shouldn't burn oil either because of the update in one of the parts that both engines share.
