problem #27

Jun 212000

(reported on)

Accord

  • miles
I noticed the engine oil consumption problem at around 7K miles, but I did not believe it at first. I checked the oil level once a week. The engine burns close to 3/4 quart of oil every 1,000 miles, but the Honda dealership said it's fine. I believe it is excessive for a relatively new car, and Honda has a known reputation for excellence in relability and low maintenace.
