    I agree. Just use the highest viscosity the manual recommends for
    your temp range and keep a few bottles in the trunk. Just keep
    checking it once a week and add as needed. I actually think 1200 miles
    per qt is fine for a car with 190,000 miles. If it doesn't make it to
    a quarter million, it won't be because of this oil burning problem
    (unless you run it dry).

    mine was burning at that rate, but has since dropped to one quart per 4
    or 5k.

    it does matter - submerged guides can leak literally pints.

    right, but that's a whole different issue.

    but they are literally weeks old - no "lasting" problem.

    untrue - the stems and guides run dry. the seal is there to do just
    that - seal.
    a honda should be up there at at least 300k.
