I have a '98 Honda Prelude with 135k on it that has burned some oil for a while. Since the wife began to drive it the burning got worse. So, last oil change I put in 10w30 rather than the 5w30 and it still burned. Before I took a 960 mile road trip I topped it off with 10w40(1/2 quart) and added RedLine fuel system cleaner.
No oil burned on the trip! On the same trip in the past, I would burn 1 full quart. I belive the Redline stuff freed up some deposits by the rings.
What do you guys think?
Oil used is Amsoil.
Posted in oil area too, but wanted to get the additive guys thought too.
 
Sounds like its burning within spec of the engine. My s2000 doesn't burn any oil if I'm nice to it.

You could always run a Auto-RX treatment just for kicks...
