Engine oil level dropped!

[ReVHard]

hey dudes, is it normal to see the engine oil level drop a little over a period of about a month on the ek9, I use Mobil 1 15W-50.

Thanks....

yes its quite common, some brands of oil seem to consume worse than others,

try another brand next oil change.

yes its normal, but your 15w-50 seems very thick, most poeple use 10w-30 or 5w-40 or 10w-40

but where does this oil go....and....it seems to go down fast the more I run in vtec!

it burns,
could be pcv/breather related or just general wear on the engine,

personally i did not get on with mobil 1 oil in the past, try a different brand and see what happens, it may help lower the consumption rate.
