More than likely rings going out and/or bad valve seals. Does it just smoke alot on startup or is it pretty constant? At what rate does it consume oil?

Must be another Honda with rear bumper caked in black. Alot of them around here. Maybe a leak of some kind? What does his driveway look like? lol
What does his exhaust smell and look like? It should be quite noticible if it is burning at that rate.

that engine is fucked. there must be so much carbon build up on those pistons and rings. burning more oil than gasoline is never good
