I hadn't heard that the s2k uses more oil when u v-tec. Is it a significant amount? Is it only in some cases or does it apply to all s2k's? TIA Rob

If you've been following the loose spark plug thread lately, you might consider checking the tightness on those too.

I may or may not change to a synthetic oil. If I do it will probably be Mobile 1. However, I must say, I have never used a synthetic in any of my past cars and I have never had any engine problems due to the type of oil I use. I believe it is more important that you change the oil and filter at the scheduled times. If you do this, you should not have any problems and you'll save a few bucks as well.

Can anyone agree? Usually it's the manufacturer that tells you to be patient and wait for your rings to seat when you are using alot of oil! I have used 1/4 litre of oil in first 5000km, and am about to do a change. Thank god I'm not getting the consumption some of you are experiencing!
