I recently bought an 09 FN2 with FSH and 56k miles. I know that these cars can drink oil. I understand (though who knows if truthful) that the previous owner, who had owned for 4/5 years and 40k miles, rarely used VTEC as it was used for the school run. The oil was near the top when I picked it up. 400 miles or so later it was around half, but I had driven it very hard on the 300 mile trip home, so I topped it up with fully synthetic 5W-40 (though relatively cheap stuff). Another 200 miles or so later of mainly motorway driving with the odd trip into vtec, and it's down about 1/4 between the top and bottom markers. Is this normal usage? It seems a lot ...
Certainly no signs of leak or blue smoke.
