I noticed during the last oil change that the quantity drained from the engine was significantly less than what it should be at full service. About a month later I check the level and it was about 1.5 quarts low, and I noticed blue smoke from the exhaust. A quick Google search showed that this has been a significant problem for over a decade. I was never notified of the problem, therefore never updated the vehicle in accordance with the Honda TSB 11-033 which provided a software update, and could have prevented my current problem. Based on the information available on the internet, to fix the problem the engine would have to be taken apart and new rings installed on the pistons. I feel like that type of in-depth maintenance would just cause more problems than it would fix, so I'm stuck with a problem Honda should have fixed a decade ago!
