- Simple 5 Minute Fix For Oil Consumption, Burning Oil, Fouling Spark Plugs - Simple 5 Minute fix for hondas with 3.5L V6 Engines with VCM (Variable Ctlinder Management. Website describes this issue better. This completely fix my Honda Pilot Oil Consumption, Burning Oil, Fouling Spark Plugs when I bought it with 157,000 miles. Now runs great. In 2013 a class-action lawsuit was filed against Honda, 1.6 million vehicles between 2008-2013 had been identified having potential for high oil consumption and misfires due to VCM Operation on 3.5L V6 Engines. Honda extended the warranty for these vehicles but did not correct the problem. This did not include the millions of vehicles between 2005-2007 that also had the same defective issues and had owners complaining of repeated failure of costly motor mounts to VCM operation, damaged transmission torque converters, fouled spark plugs and excessive oil consumption at the rate of up to 1 qt for every 1000 miles. Honda claimed this was normal.

This car appears to have a defect causing excessive oil burning, similar to many Honda engines, that cause it to seize up. My daughter spent 4 hours on the roadside during a snowstorm in this car on Dec. 14 here in Michigan. Several other years of the V6 engines are being extended additional warranties for this exact problem, yet Honda won't add my vehicle. The oil was changed less than 4000 miles ago in this car and it burned 3.5 quarts of oil in that time. This car is immaculately maintained.
