Started up great after sitting for three months. Had it idle for a min or two and then shut it off and went to check out fluids and the belt. Tranny was good and full. Break res. was topped off no leaks on the master cylinder. But then I checked the engine oil and the dipstick was bone dry… I checked the engine and it doesn’t even have slight leaks from anywhere dry and pretty clean to be honest. I went to my late grandfathers garage hopping he’d still have oil around and I found a unopened 5 qt jug. I added a quart thinking that would be enough and it was still dry. After 3.5 quarts it showed up on the dip stick and i started the motor let it get to temp and rechecked it and it’s within reason now. Is is normal for these 3.5 Hondas to burn so much oil? The sticker was recent and was about 7000 miles over due for a change. Got a 2 hour drive home with it wish me luck!
Update: things a beast needs struts but other than that should be a sweet beater. Little rust but plenty of power. Thing was kept up with for the most part so it won’t be too much trouble. also I meant 7000 past it’s last change so kinda in the sweet spot Not 7000 past! 250k miles and probably few more in her
