have never found this in writing, but many here have said that honda states a quart every 1k miles is okay. not sure if that was towards 'normal' driving or 'spirited' driving. i burned about that much in my old 03, but under 'normal' driving i'd go through maybe 1/8 of a qaurt every 1k miles.

I have never used any. I think it varies from car to car and driver to driver. How the car was treated during the break in period may have something to do with it.

there's a memo from honda that stated that in black and white.

i have it in jpeg format if you are interested.

i burns around half a qt every oil change(3k)

much less if you don't vtec alot, or during cooler season for some reason.
