Well, the topic says it all. My wife and I had just gotten the CRX (43k miles on it), and we drove it from Los Angeles to San Diego. Her parents told us it had just had the oil changed. Anyway, I bought a book, new struts for the hatch, windshield wiper fluid... the usual. After we drove the 150 miles home, I checked the oil to see if it burned any, only to discover that there was way too much oil. To the tune of an extra quart. Well, I figured that would explain the smell on the highway and after I'd turn the car off. So, I drained it, put the proper amount of oil in, new filter, all that good stuff.
So now then. What can I expect in the way of problems? I still get a funky burning oil smell when I stop, but it isn't nearly as bad as it was. My first thought was that a new PCV valve may be in order. Anyone have any ideas? Or do CRX's just burn a little oil?
