Knowing Acura uses many similar parts as Honda figured I'd be able to get away with buying a used Acura without having it fall apart before putting 5-6k miles on it. WAS VERY WRONG! First oil change took it on a road trip (500miles round trip) starting consuming quite a bit of oil. Wasn't too worried beings these v6s are known for it, couple months later I'm dumping a quart in it every 150-200 miles. Burns coolant and oil but NO blown head gasket. I'm thinking it has to be bad piston rings possibly burning the oil (would need rebuild). Exhaust leak has developed due to the cat getting clogged with burnt oil. Worsening exhaust leak. Hoping a dealership will give me a couple hundred bucks for a trade in to something newer with lower miles.
