Burns Oil
I bought my TSX 6 months ago. I checked the dipstick after four months, the oil was below the lower mark, so I added a qrt of oil (only 3200 miles). Then, I checked again after 500 miles, oil decreased a little bit.
Does any of you experiencing the same problem?

I'm under a half on my oil gauge...
I'm only at 1450 miles....
is there a recommendation on which oil to add with that low of miles on it?
I need to find out since I'm going on a long trip this weekend....

I would recommend that you start to take the car through the upper RPM range to help seat the rings. If this has been done, you should be fine. It is very normal to burn some oil the first 5,000 miles or so. This is typical for break-in. Many people with the 2.4L experience this and it stops when switching to a low volatile synthetic around 5,000 miles or so. Give it some time.

I did that test on mine, and when driving smoothly for fuel economy, I drank 1 1/3L of oil during 4000km. But driving it hard, I'm right at 1L/1500km.
