2010 Honda CR-V: excessive oil consumption

Filed Jan 19, 2022 · Engine · NY

MY CRV was at 127,829 miles I took it in to the dealership and told the service advisor the CRV was making a clicking sound CRV was slow to accelerate on entrance to a highway the engine light would come on at a stop light momentarily the CRV dashboard read 70 percent used oil. The dealership said the CRV was down 2 quarts of oil and did an oil change. The last oil change was done at 125,474 miles the CRV was not making any noise after that oil change. The car is definitely burning oil because it had only been 2355 miles since the last oil change was done.

The warranty extension that was extended for "sticking piston rings resulting in high oil consumption" was not a problem yet during the 125,000 mile mark. A few months later our 2010 honda crv started needing much more oil. Ever since we've needed to add oil at every fuel tank fill up. Please push honda to extend the warranty to take care of its customers. Our crv now has just over 180,000 miles. Thanks for your time with this.

Bought from honda dealer and it burns 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. This is a known issues service bulletin 12-089. I have done an oil consumption test with them and they agree that is the problem but will not correct. I feel they mislead me during the purchase and the dealer should have informed me that there was issues with the crv oil consumption. Now they want me to pay $3000 to to correct the know issue. Honda USA refuses to correct also. This should have been a recall.

For at least 50,000 miles, my 2010 crv seemed to be burning oil in between oil changes. In about 2000 mile into the oil change, I'd notice my oil light come on or hear something was not right. Then, I'f check the oil and it was a quarter low. But, there was no oil on the ground anywhere I parked. So it was not leaking oil. I kept thinking it was my imagination. I kept looking for recalls to ensure there was no issue. I bought a fixd app and never saw an issue pop up for oil.

Excessive oil consumption reported to dealer when mileage was apprx 60k dealer said that it was normal aprox 1 qt in 1,000mi. It was not acceptable to me. I am now burning much more now @ 92,9255k I would like to have this resolved by honda because this is motor defect and should be repaired at honda's expense

Excess oil consumption. Need to add 1 plus quarts of oil per 1,000 miles. Oil indication light does not appear when there is no oil on the dip stick. This first started to happen at around 100,000 miles (8/2017) and continues to do so. Must constantly check and add oil to engine. I am the original owner and have always used top-tier gasoline and I am also a very gentle drive.

I have a 2010 honda crv and it is consuming an excess amount of oil. I have preformed numerous tests with the dealership every 1000 miles per the test requirements for excessive oil consumption. My crv is currently using 26oz of oil or more every 1000 miles and the dealership and honda state that it is within normal range. They stated that I should check my oil every time I fill up my gas tank. They stated that if I do not check my oil every time I get gas, the level may go low and my engine can blow up. I do not think it is reasonable to have to check my oil every week for a known issue with honda crvs from 2010 and it would be a safety issue if my car stops working while driving.

Single owner of vehicle, bought brand new. For last 18 months or more...large oil consumption, about 1100 miles per synthetic oil change. Sounds like a lawnmower when starting vehicle. Terrible "pick-up". Very low gas mileage, used 87 unleaded for entire life of car. Currently averging about 12 miles per gallon (highway/around town combined). Taken to local honda dealership many times with no real solution although posts all over internet with same problems.

My 2010 honda crv has an oil consumption problem. The dealer finds it consumes 1 quart per 1500 miles. Because of this it does not meet the criteria for repair under the extended warranty. The oil light never comes on despite being critically low on oil. I have gone through the oil consumption test twice now and also appealed through honda. Because I am not burning 1 quart per 1000 miles they will not do the repair. They admit it's burning too much oil but not enough to fix it. I have also been told by the honda dealership that honda oil lights "just don't work". My independent mechanic has said the rate of oil consumption is damaging my vehicle. I am now checking my oil weekly and spending a lot of extra money purchasing oil to add on my own. I have found the entire process through honda extremely frustrating. I call and send emails and do not get a response. After I filed the appeal and was told they will not agree to do the repair I asked what my next step should be. He suggested I do a third oil consumption test. He said he had the final say as the person in charge of my appeal and he refused to help me.

I had excessive oil consumption and the pistons were replaced under the extended warranty from honda at approximately 117000 miles. I drove the vehichle and the oil lite came on; stopped at a repair station and had to add 2 qts oil. Went to honda again to start oil consumption test (which they say losing a qt of oil every 1000 miles is ''normal' which I so disagree with. The engine lite came on, took to honda and they said the catalyc converter needs to be replaced (with only 120000 miles now). I found other sites/blogs that show other honda owners having same problem with cat converter/oil consumption. I beliee the excessive oil consumption is contributing to the failure of the cataylic converter/emmissions problem and the consumer/myself shoudl not have pay this exorbainate repair cost (over $2600 per honda dealer). I have 2007 crv with approx 145000 miles and have had no oil consumption or catalyic converter issue which concerns me as I was looking to trade in the 2007 and pass the 2010 crv to my daughter and acquire a new honda. But, it is unacceptable that a newere crv (2010) has such major problems that it is not a quality car to pass on to my daughtr to drive and I am not sure if I get another honda if I will hae defects and excessive out of pocket costs. I wanted my honda's to last with minimum repairs that are exorbinet costs.

2010 honda crv has excessive oil consumption problem leading to an engine stall on 9/28/17 while driving approx. 30mph on a city street. There was no prior warning of an oil level problem until the oil pressure light came on when the car stalled out. The oil had been changed in the car 2 months prior and was routinely changed approx. Every 4k miles.. The vehicle had also been having a grinding noise when starting up cold each day. This has been determined to be a vtc actuator problem. The excessive oil burning has now also caused an emissions problem (catalytic converter) and the car will not pass state inspection. There are numerous complaints including litigation pertaining to the excessive oil issue and the vtc actuator defect. There needs to be an investigation into whether vehicle crashes/injuries/fatalities involving the affected honda vehicles are caused by engine stalls or loss or power and furthermore if the excessive oil consumption problem is the cause. If the vtc actuator is causing or contributing to the problem, there needs to be a recall. Also, does excessive oil burning increase the risk of engine fires in these vehicles? Is excessive oil burning causing emissions system failures and polluting the environment? A vehicle that burns 4-5 quarts of oil between 5k mile oil changes is not safe to drive for anybody but especially unsafe for the elderly and young drivers. The defect will cause engine performance problems leading to car crashes, engine fires and violates emissions standards.
