Default S2000 oil consumption

someone on vtec.net told me a while ago that the AP1 burns a little oil every time you go into VTEC. is this true? i've been checking my oil and the oil level is correlated with how much i go into VTEC. so was that guy right, or is my engine just burning oil when it shouldn't be?

a lot of people seem to notice it happen more with certain oils over others. Mobile 1 seems to be the most common one that gets consumed. Krank vents can help stop it I guess. I needs to get me some o' dem.

No oil consumption whatsoever here, with or without VTEC after almost 40.000km in 2 years
