Default what the heck

just checked my dipstick and oil level in the accord and it was barely touching the tip of the stick[:@] there are no oil leaks, no smoke from my exhaust, and performance is great...what gives? why is it empty on oil now? luckily i checked the oil level today and the engine didnt go out on me...gonna go buy some quarts to fill her up...maybe adding lucas will help too..any suggestions appreciated...

instead of adding 2-3 qts ,why not do an oil and filter job, then you should monitor it closely to see what is going on ..

Check inside of you intake duct downstream of PCV air outlet (goes to valve cover). If you see lots of oil in the duct, the PCV or PCV hose is blocked and oil vapor is being pushed into the engine. Clean PCV hose and replace valve will fix.

good luck
