Engine oil

I have a 1997 civic with 255000 km and i'm always adding oil and there's no leak and there's no oil smoke coming from the tail pipe. Now can anyone tell me where the oil is going. Tks.

Re: Engine oil

It's going out of the tailpipe, you just can't see it. A cat can hide a lot of smoke.

Probably rings worn out or stuck.
