Sadly, Redline Oil costs 25,- € / 22,- US$ per quart here in Germany....

Royal Purple is -- wait for it! -- purple. But it's about €20/liter as well. Why is motor oil so expensive in Europe? UK as well?

Blacken the dip stick and check in good light.

Yeah I must have a unicorn as well.

Zero oil burned, it also did not burn any on its first track day. I also have the RainH8R valve cover mod + OCC.

It's only the US brands that's expensive here in Europe, Castrol and other euro oils is probably even cheaper, at least if you buy them from Germany.

i changed to Motul 6100 5w40 for my track day and didn't burn any oil, i checked my dip stick a week later and it was still reading full on both sides...

some of you are gonna hate me for this, but i didn't change my oil for like 6k miles after that lol, this is my daily also.

drained my oil and was at about 3.5qts that came out. so 1.5qts of oil burned.

now that i have a surplus of Motul 6100 and 300v... i'm going back to regular maintenance again.

They don't start burning oil through the valve cover vents until you carry a pretty decent pace, and it depends on the track. Valve cover mod will pretty much eliminate the issue once you start having it.
You might have just bypassed the overlap point.

80,000 miles,original owner, i do my own oil changes as well...use honda filters the correct S2000 one, and chevron 10-30 i get at costco, always have, runs great...NEVER any oil use and i check it each time i get gas. I have a 04 car.

@ Chuck S: Castrol, Shell, Mobil1, Liqui Moly, Ravenol, Rowe, all this oil cost about 10,- € / Liter for the zop of the line full synthetic here.
Red Line is the one that stands out. Inflated Import prices.
Royal Purple is unknown here, they dont have a distributor. But you can get some form the US via Amazon for 33,-€ / Quart.


VALVE COVER MOD: Could somebody enlighten me please? A modification to the crankase ventilation i guess?

You have an F22, not an F20 (thread title) :P

That is why you don't burn oil.
