Default ?Why does my "S" burn oil?

Car is an '03, and i run synthetic oil in it, it gets driven a few times a week and gets VTEC'd each time out but no racing or other abuse, i'm pretty easy one it. oil is always down a quart after 3K miles.

well from what I hear, Honda VTEC engines burn a lotta oil when they go into VTEC a lot, and especially since ur using Synthetic, it burns quicker. GOtta be careful with the syntheticz

I think if you're a quart low every 3000 miles you should check your oil more often.
