V-TEC using engine oil?

I change the oil every 3,000 miles.

See your reaction is the same that mine was originally. I never had heard of the V-TEC using oil. Granted I don't know much about the guts of how the V-TEC operates but it just didn't seem right to me.

I am just wondering if I might have a problem that could come back to bit me in the ass after my warranty expires.

Is this something I should look into? Or is this normal behavior from a new car with an iV-TEC?
