^It's not worth buying since they only sell it in individual qts., I could ask how much it would be for me but I'm pretty sure even with employee discount it's still cheaper to just go to wal-mart and buy the 5qt jug for $22.

The odd thing about the oil burning is that it seems the rumors may be true that it's something that seems to mostly happen to the UDSM engines, my JDM H22a doesn't burn any oil.

yeah I heard that JDM engines are more efficient at oil distribution and don't burn it as fast.

They have a DIY oil change special at my local Honda dealership. $19.99 with 5 qts oil, filter, and drain plug washer. I looked on their website under service specials. I'm sure this varies from dealer to dealer, but doesn't hurt to check.

I have 134K on my 01' and use valvoline high mileage, heard that this is better to use due to the mileage than synthetic.

Only use the best.
