My 95 Civic uses pretty close to nothing... I get it changed every 5-6k miles with full synth and the dipstick is close to full and not all that...
Good to know all this. So is oil burning something I might reasonably get fixed or is it just a fact of life and I need to keep a bit of spare oil...
Any value in those pricey K&N cabin/engine air filters? My understanding is that they're mostly for hot rodders but figured I'd ask... about to...
Done and done, 26 bucks on Amazon :) Happy to spend a bit extra on quality parts, just don't wanna fall into the audiophile trap and buy fancy...
