Hmmm, mine does the same thing (02 with 89k) I am also curious, though, I thought that was normal for these cars... Mine will do it the most after I go a couple days of not going into VTEC. Wonder if its carbon blowing off at first?
A steady stream of smoke is not normal at all. I admit mine produces 'some' light smoke but does not continue to do so all the way through the rpms. I attribute that more towards the fact that I do not run a catalytic converter though.

I go through 3/4 of a quart every 1K if I drive hard all the time.

I use either Mobil 1 or Castrol Syntec........whatever is the better deal.

Amsoil 10w30, or if you can find some Castrol 0w30 'made in germany'

both are excellent synthetic oils
