It has been my experience that the NSX does not typically burn oil excessively. What year is your car? Does it leave oil drops on the floor when parked overnight?Things to look for:Loose or screwed up oil filter.Misaligned valve cover gasket (check the rear valve cover way in the back).Leaking spool valves.AnecdoteA few years ago, I drove from Michigan to L.A. via Phoenix to attend NSXPO ’99. At NSXPO we drove some really fun back roads and I let “Speed” (one of our Japanese guests) drive my car for a few hours (that was exciting!), needless to say, the engine was frequently at redline. I then tracked the car at Laguna Seca for two days and then drove back to Michigan. I never had to put in a drop of oil the whole trip. Since then, I have driven many cross-country trips and many track events and it is a rare occasion that my engine needs any oil.DanO
