How many miles is 5 days? 10 miles? 1000 miles? Everyone drives differently.



Peruse this thread: https://www.civicforums.com/forums/2...t-exhaust.html


I bet rings.

It may well be smoking profusely while you drive and you can't see it.
The catalytic converter can hide a LOT of oil smoke too.


Pull the spark plugs. What do they show?
