i was checking the dip stick today and i noticed that the oil level dropped 2 notches after the wla meet. should it drop so much after a few hours of constant vtec? btw, i changed my oil 2k mi ago...which was 3 weeks back. also, im wondering if i should change synthetic...

VTEC = F20C happy hour!

I have noticed that too. You will consume more oil during VTEC. Especially if your car is new. I check my oil at every fillup and keep it topped off.

Use the search for "oil usage" and you'll come up with a lot of info on the topic.

Have fun!

Tag, if your run was like mine... I have never run at such extended high speed before (maybe 30 minutes at 80+ MPH, geared down for passing).
