I bought high mileage Honda, oil disappears but no leaks.
I poured about 1 qt of ATF and drove 5 miles.
Drained oil and poured 20/50 and 0/20 mix about 50% each. Oil cap says to use 5/20.
It is high mileage engine and some ATF is still there, decreasing viscosity of new oil.
Driving 5 miles with ATF should release piston rings, if they were stuck. We'll see if oil stops disappearing.
