Instead of taking it to a mechanic to get it diagnosed you're going to spend more money when you have to replace the dead cat.

I'm used to seeing red oil lamp blinking (with beeping) every few hundred meters so I'd be happy to have another color of illumination on. It's a VW btw.

I replaced the O2 sensor, but it still shows it's slowly responding.

b-but the car was designed in 97.

Actually i guess there was an update to the engine in 98, for the 99 model.

>tfw no vtec

Anyway, i abuse the shit out of the car, but take care of it, replace shit ASAP, do fluid changes way earlier than expected, drain ATF every year and flush the system, but i honestly have to say that Honda reliability is a meme.

How big consumption is it?
It used to be 2.1 l / 1000 km but it's already fixed; it's something else causing constant oil lamp.
