My oil is disappearing, help
Hey guys! I recently bought an 07 Honda Accord EX 2.4L, and it’s been going through an insane amount of oil. Me and my SO went on a road trip and ended up going through about 11qts in around 2k miles… so yeah…. I also recently did an oil change and 270 miles later there was basically no oil in it. There are no signs of leaking or burning, so not quite sure what’s going on. It does have 224,000 miles on it, but even with it being that high, it shouldn’t be going through that amount of oil. Oil does seem to get pretty dirty pretty quickly, and I do think there is some sludge in the system as well. Does anyone know what I can check, or do, or literally anything to try and get this diagnosed and fixed?

EDIT: no blue smoke out of exhaust, no smoke in general, no leaks on the ground.
We did do a compression test and got like 190, 190, 175, and 180 (not in that order)
Will definitely be checking the PCV this weekend, thank you!
