I am surprised that they said this to you. I always maintain my oil level at or just below the upper line, or full mark. This gives you the maximum amount of oil in the crankcase without risk of foaming.

Also, this means that you were about 1.4 quarts low on oil. There are 5 diamonds between the lower and upper marks and about a 1 quart difference between them, so if you added 1 quart to the engine and your oil quantity is now 3 diamonds above the low mark, you were about 1.4 quarts low before.

It never really burned oil before but i have 22.5k miles and have just done synthetic and now being at 25.8k miles, it has seemed to have burned that so i am goin to try syn blend to see if that slows the burning at all.

Oh ya, i told a honda tech about this and he told me that some bubbles are ok because it gets aerated alittle in the bottom of the crank case, and as long as i dont find grey or white on the stick, im ok

I think after the oil has been churned up from driving, the oil gets a bit aerated.
