Put about 1 litre in at the ring back in August as it was on the min line.

Then another litre before I went to the UK on the course.

Was messing around with the Gruppe M today and decided to check the oil and it was just about on the MIN line! Bloody hell it's done 10 K and munched at least 3 litres of oil!
 
Honda say upto 1litre per 620miles is normal :shock: . As long as it ain't leaking or smoking i wouldn't worry. :wink: 8)

I'm passionate about cars mate so yes :wink:

Different K20's will use different abounts of oil - all depends on the way it is driven and how good the seals around the pistons are.

Mine appears to love oil :roll:
 
Thats why Honda say to check regularly, they say every fuel stop to cover there backs but I usually check mine every week or 2 weeks max

Thinking about it was about 1500 miles ago the last time I checked.

He could be running a KPro on a shoddy map.

:shock: I check mine once a week regardless of how many miles I've done. I also check it before and after a long journey.

For the sake of 5 mins, the K20A is an expensive engine to replace if it gives up due to oil starvation. With it on the Min, you are more likely to cavitate the pump during hard cornering and therefore loose oil pressure.

Consider yourself bollocked :lol:
