This car burns oil at a very fast rate, with no sign of leaks, etc. Took to dealer and they can't find source. I have to check oil level and usually replace each week - I drive about 150 miles weekly. Seems very excessive to me, especially w/ no suggestion on how to fix.

What owners say
Immediately after having an oil change the vehicle registered low oil level. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who determined that the discontinued engine was the cause. *nlm *cb
Engine had been consuming oil, was told 1 qt./1000 mi. Is standard. At 54,000 miles engine eventually consumed 5-6 quarts in 3000 miles and failed - number 1 & 2 rods and bearings shot. Honda refuses to acknowledge any problem with oil consumption and blames failure on oil deprivation (lack of maintenance) even though oil change receipts and witnesses to last 3000 mi. Oil adds have been provided. Will not buy another honda product, even if it is built by them!
After just pulling onto the highway from my parents driveway, I heard a "knocking" sound coming from the engine compartment of my vehicle. At regular idle speeds this sound could not be heard. After checking the oil it was found to be 4.25 quarts low. The oil pressure warning light never came on and after adding oil back to the engine, the knocking sound still continues. The vehicle has been regularly maintained at service intervals well within the documented reccomendations of the manufacturer. The service has been completed at the dealership.
Low oil pressure indicator came on. When I checked oil, 4 quarts low. Vehicle had been driven 4000 miles since last oil change. Contacted dealer who changed oil/filter and has initiated oil consumption test. No visible leaks. Since monitoring, vehicle has consumed 1/2 quart oil in 400 miles. I am concerned about an engine defect.
