Oil consumption
 
hmh... well, after 1k miles I'm missing about half a quart of oil.. this is with some mild, and some faster driving ;D

I'm not smoking or leaking oil.. at least for smoking I can't see it - at idle it's OK, and at WOT same - no smoke I could see in rear view mirror, except at night when I see some in lights of a car behind - but still doesn't really seem like bluish.

Anyone got idea what I should check? .. since half a quart for 1k miles does seem a tad high ::)

Oh yea.. I'm also using little thicker oil: Castrol RS 10W60

I park overnight in garage.. and there is no oil on floor.. so I doubt I'm leaking..
*sigh*... only thing that comes to mind is that maybe turbo seals are leaking a bit.. not enuff to smoke.. but enuff for sich oils consumption.. will prolly try to lower oil pressure to turbo and see than.

maybe you need rings... my 95 accord goes thru 1 qt every 200 miles because of rings... and it only has 125k mi...

Before I installed turbo (been turbo-ed for 1500 miles so far)... oil consumption was arround half quart for 6000 miles.
