I had big oil issues on my AP1 and discovered it was a combination of a leaky VTEC Solenoid and the valve cover gasket leaking some serious oil in places I couldn't easily see. I'd start there
How much oil were you adding, due to those leaks? Engine must have been quite a gummy mess. Kinda like an old Diesel?

I also have a 04 ap2 , bought from a ford dealership, not sure what oil they had in her, i had to top it off about every 2 weeks w/ about 1/8 of a quart, iv changed the dealer oil out w/ royal purple 10/30w...no issues...i live in seattle drove it over Stevens Pass really hard & used about 1/8 th qt. ...i vtec it daily & no problems dosent use a drop...seems like a good synthetic is the way to go :-)

Hi All we have a Honda s2000 ap2 from 2004 in silverstone paint. About 112.000Km on it. Run (Full synthetic Castrol Edge 0w30)
I Think My ap2 takes too much oil, What's normal oil consumption on those engines in ap2 (I know ap1 had problems with it on V-tech)
Thanks for replays

Depends on the temperature where you live. 0W-30 will warm up to proper operating viscosity faster than 10W-30.

I use Amsoil signature series in my 2006. Was using 10W-30 for awhile then I switched to 0W-30 earlier this year. In either case, I didn't consume any noticeable amount of oil between changes (~4500 miles or so per oil change). I drive pretty hard on the weekends. I have just over 100,000 miles so far.

Hi, Just an update.... I have replaced valve stem seals at around 175,000km and noticed a significant drop in oil burning, after driving around with them for the past 5,000km!
Still use 5w-40 Motul...
