    not to be vague, but i dont see a con to vtec... other than lower gas mileage from smashing on it too much.

    i see a vtec engine as the best of both worlds. when youre just cruising around town, shifting like an old lady... you can get great mileage. but when you need the power, its there. just rip on it till 8k.

          i think vtec burns more oil than non-vtec motors. dont ask me how cuz i dont know. possibly oil capacity is more? not really a con but maybe on money when u gotta buy more oil LOL. also ur car gets louder when vtec kicks in... con to ppl who dont like loud cars. also one more thing to fix if it breaks. rumor has it vtec doesnt engage when the check engine light is on... which could mean less power in upper range but still maintain the good gas mileage on daily... but depending on what code is being thrown out.

            Weeell....i dont think ur engine should be burning soo much oil that you need to top-it-off all the time inbetween oil changes....so unless the engine has serious problems u shouldnt have to add any oil inbetween changes, therefore ur not spending any more money then u need to....i never have to add oil inbetween changes! VTEC isnt all that much louder....ubless ur turbod cuz that ish gets hella loud! but other then that id just say the sound is more distinct than loud. Usually when ur check engine light comes on...it isnt a good think so i dont think they should be mashin on their motors with a CEL on anyways....

                vtec does burn more oil IMO because it runs off of oil pressure. i dont think this is a coincidence and yes the h22 does take more oil i changed mine today it took 5.5 quarts cost me 35$ just to change the oil

                    well i think the real question is DOHC vtec DOHC non-vtec. Its to hard to compare SOHC and DOHC. But two DOHC one vtec the other not. that is a better question.

                          Yes, that is absolutely correct. I used to work at a local honda dealership and that is what we were required to put in. 5.5qts (h22's only) does sound a bit crazy but it is in fact true.

                            does that actually make your engine perform better, or why does it need so much? I use only 4 - 4.5

                              i have a 3.0L V6 and i only put in 5 but it says 4.5. So i run my oil a bit longer to maybe 4-5K rather then 3K
