I don't see why people ebitch about cars burning oil. It is a fact of life on all engines that it will burn oil to a certain degree.

The PCV valve will suck out oil vapors causing your engine to consume oil. If you go into VTEC alot, guess what, you are pressurizing the head and it puke out oil into your intake tract.

It is advisable to check your oil atleast once a week if you boost or VTEC alot. Otherwise every time you fill up will suffice. I do it and my cars always last longer than 10 years.
