Before my last oil change, which was in April, my engine light came on. I went to the dealer and they found the code which said I was probably low on oil. The manager put 3 qts in it and sent me on my way. When I asked him how it could be so low, his reply was, it just consumes it. Well my engine light came on again so I immediately checked the oil level. Yup, 3 Qts low again. Now I am on line and found out that Honda has had this problem with it's engines for awhile now. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow to make a formal complaint about this problem. I don't need to be adding 3 qts in between every oil change.

I bought a Honda because I had always heard that they were reliable. Nothing further from the truth! I have received nothing but trouble from every dealer, even though this car, and this motor, and this problem is a well known issue and has also been part of a class action suit. Honda hasn't issued a recall, and Honda denies the fact that this motor burns oil excessively. In fact, they state that 1 quart of oil per 1,000 miles is NORMAL! That's BS. I have owned at least 15 cars and I have never burned that much oil in any of these cars. Not even the oldest of these cars.

Bottom line, DON'T BUY A HONDA
