Re: Caring about high RPMs

I considered engine oil and filter to be the main protective maintenance item. I ran Mobile 1 Synthetic for the first 80K miles or so, changing it every 3K to 5K miles. Then decided synthetic wasn't help much since oil was burning (or going somewhere -- not leaking). From that point I used Castroil or Penzoil.

Caring about high RPMs

Do I care?

My 2000 Civic Si, with 154K miles, burns quite a bit of oil. I blame it on the high RPMs.

I've had experience with quite a few other Hondas and have not seen them burn oil even with > 154K miles.
