For best results always keep the oil level on the top notch, to keep the crank shaft fully lubricated. The best time to check the oil is about 30 seconds after the car is shut off, this ensures most of the oil has drained into the dump.
I reccomend always keeping the oil level on the top notch, and check it weekly. Avoid having to much oil because your at risk of hydrolocking the engine.
Turbo cars, like vtec, or variable valve timing cars, are more prone to consume oils, so you need to keep up with maintnence.

Yeah its werid I just have the oil changed not even 150 miles ago, i had it changed when I did my mods and I havent driven the car extremely hard yet, only when I was having the road tune done, but that wasnt more than I would normally do. I had the car off for a minute then I checked multiple times and it was like a quater inch above the first notch but below half, I know turbo'd cars are known for burning oil but I think thats not the case here, before the new oil change I was driving the car preetty hard and had that oil in for about 1900 miles and didnt burn any oil, so im thinking that maybe thats all the guy put in. I trust the guy to and he had an evo of his own that he had modded up the arsh by him and his shop....well he did it him self at his shop. I think im gonna just get a quart or two of oil and fill it up a little and keep the rest for when i burn or if i burn a bit of oil. Thannks Gus and Emonz I appreiate the help.
