The S tends to use oil during the first few thousand miles and during hard driving. Honda suggests that the oil be checked at every fill up. Many owners have found that the car consumes up to 1/2 qt of oil per 1000 miles for the first 8 to 10,000 miles. Some more, some less.

Check your oil often.

When checking the oil, often, use the pessimistic side of the dipstick (the lower reading). Become a member of s2ki
