You're right about oil being cheaper, but i want to make sure there isn't a more serious underlying problem. I go to school 6 hours away from home so if something goes wrong I'm kind of on my own.

well the vtec in the civic and the vtec in the tsx dont feel like anything similar lol. the tsx is gradual and not as torquey or powerful. have the car brought to a mechanic and have a pressure test done on the 4 cylinders. than they will go to a manual and see if it is in spec. than maybe do a tune up. If no oil leaks are found or ur burning oil than obviously ur car is fine. Is your car an auto or manual? as for useing oil it is possible because the seals might need replaceing with the high mileage. Im sure its something u can live with if u keep on top of it til ur budget permits. As for the VTEC- again the 2.0 civic si and the 2.4 tsx motors are like night and day. U know anyone else with a tsx? compare ur car to another tsx. civic doesnt compare.
