Re: v-tech burns oil -- Solution?

I don't think your issue is going to be fixed with any fluid. There is a service limit of how much oil is acceptable to burn in x amount of miles, Hondas limit is probably a quart every 1000 miles or so, look into it and if your within the limit i wouldnt be to concerned

You can use a little higher viscosity oil.

If it doesn't burn much, don't do it. Burning a quart, say, every 2500 miles is fine.
