cuz your car is new , cars start to burn oil when they get old
Camry is almost 10 years old with 170,000 miles and it doesn't burn any. The 06 had 20,000 and didn't burn any.

I've broken both vehicles in.

Oil tends to get acidic because of contaminants and oxidation. So yes it does degrade in a sense.
especially when new.

changed mine at 500 with quaker and then 500 hundred after that to amsoil.

I myself do not baby the car but I don't abuse my bearings either. Run it hard for the rings and run it easy for the bearings.

What are the differences in filters? The K&N one was 12 bucks when Fram was only 6... is there a major difference? And what is the brand that Honda uses? Can I get it at Kraegan?
