Since some here are against Mobil 1 Synthetic, I think I may join that group. Just used it for the first time in my new S2K (new to me), and it's drinking a quart per week. I tend to drive spirited a lot, and stay in VTEC quite a bit. The car doesn't burn oil (no blue smoke, compression test is good). No oil leaks anywhere. Does this happen to everyone who uses M1 Synthetic? If so, what is the best oil for this car that won't "disappear" weekly? Thanks for the info ....

Dunno about everyone, but it's pretty common, especially for AP1s. I've spent a lot of time researching that problem and I think it actually has more to do with the PCV valve than Mobil1 (although Mobil1 supposedly eats up timing chain tensioners). My research concluded that AMSOIL is the best motor oil for our cars (and probably the most expensive, too unfortunately) and that upgrading to an AP2 (2004/2005 model) valve cover with the revised PCV valve design should reduce oil consumption.
