Losing oil???

I have an 02 EX 5 speed that is losing oil somewhere somehow. When I went to change my oil last time I noticed it. I always check my oil before I change it just to see if there are any problems like this. I just changed it again today and the same thing happened...about 2 quarts low. I check my oil on a regular basis except from the time I first noticed this until today because I drove over 3000 miles in just a couple weeks. The car does not smoke and I cannot find any leaks anywhere. Fuel mileage has not dropped either and car seems to be running just fine. I have 143,000 on it. Anyone have this problem before?

Re: Losing oil???

I have a similar problem with 127,000. I recently put in some STP oil additive and that seems to solve the problem bc my CEL did not go on after 3000 miles like it normally does when I hit VTEC and the oil level is not full.
