my friend you have posted in the wrong section. Hopefully they will move this soon. This is the Gallery section.

In answer to your question...i think you are eating oil somewhere. I have never heard of that before. My car doesn't burn that much oil. I have about 75K miles.

It's called VTEC.

Your vehicle will consume a bit more oil when VTEC is engaged.........
