I know AP1's lose oil, like most honda's. but a quart a day is excessive. there is something wrong. you would notice if you lost 1 qrt of oil through the PCV. It would burn and youd have a huge cloud of smoke. But this wont happen in regular daily driving. Hopefully Billman chimes in.

@ Mr.T

he said 1 qrt. a DAY. not a week.

eek.. one post he says 1qt/1k, and in another 1qt/day. Losing 1qt/day under regular use points to a massive leak, or you'd be blowing tons of smoke I'd think.

Ok I missed that. Though I could see a qt a day if you were tracking it.

Oh crap haha, sorry for any confusion, I meant a quart every 1k. I have no clue why I typed a day, yeah I would be concerned with that!!

In any case wouldn't a simple compression test like I did be a strong indicator of any issues?
