117k on the clock and I noticed the motor has started to burn oil at an exponential rate. Last oil change it was half a quart, and the last time i checked it 2.5 quarts were burned. Took it into the shop to ensure it wasn't a leak, which the mechanics confirmed. The mechanics claimed the last time the oil was changed, it wasn't filled up all the way. Plausible I guess, but there seems to be a pattern developing. Not sure what to do going forward, this is the most recent in a series of relatively major motor or electrical issues. Had tons of issues with a Honda crotch rocket I previously owned as well, but at least had the sense to part ways with that piece of sh*t. Perhaps Honda doesn't make them like they used to.

I thought my Honda Accord would last me another 10 years but it start burning or loosing oil while driving. Every 700 miles I have to add a quart or more of oil. I have never found a leak yet. If you take the oil cap off while the car is running, you may hear a loud noise and feel high air compression which is called blowby. Check out blowby videos on the internet. A temp fix is to add an oil additive that will seal the ring and piston problem until you can sell it back to HONDA. Alternative rebuild the engine!

I have bought a pre owned honda accord, just clocked 47000KM. I find car in good shape. But after few days i checked the engine oil level, i was surpirsed that it was near to min level. I took the car to service centre(not honda one) and they did the service of the vehicle , repalcing the oil , filter and others. They told that the previous engine oil was too low, so they did engine flushing before putting the new one. They asked to check the level of oil after every 500KM or 20days. I noticed the level drops and with 4000KM, oil was droped by 1.2-1.3L. I get it toped up from my service centre with 5W20 grade oil as usual. They told that there is no leakage , but there could be surely the bad engine symptoms, as per them the engine health is poor and cosuming more oil.

I am worried about this car. I donot want to have the engine work as it is costy as well as risky whether the problem would be fixed or not. As per prevoius owners record he used to maintain the car by authorised honda dealer. I donot much suspect if it was the neglience of prevoius owner, since the car only drived 47000KM with service record. I have the doubt that this car cosumes much oil. Anyne who put their valuable comments, welcome..

Bought this car new....Im pretty sure ive been having this problem for awhile even while it was under warranty because the check engine light would go on since the car would be running low on oil and the core would be heating up. I took it to the dealership a couple times while under warranty and they said all it needed was an oil change....even though the maintenance required light wasnt the one that was on it was the actual check engine light...anyways i didn't think much of it however it has never stopped happening and the car is no longer under warranty but i check the oil levels each week and the oil level gets lower and lower...and i have to add oil...hondas are no longer what they used to be in my opinion.

I bought this car used about 4 months ago. Put all synthetic oil (5-w20) and quickly noticed that oil level drops as I drive the car. At about 1 quart per 1000 miles. SO I blamed it on the hot weather and the light weight of the oil. So I changed the oil again to a 10-w30 and am having the exact same problem. I have checked really good and the car doesn't seem to burn any oil and definitely has no leaks in the engine. I have added the 4.5 qt that the manual states and the level goes up to the upper hole in the dipstick. Now even after a few short drives, the level drops to slightly over the lower hole. Last time it took 1.5 qt to bring it up to level. It becomes annoying as I don;t know when I am going to run out of oil, so I have to check about twice a week, which is way too frequent. I had this same problem or condition in my old 626 with about 150000 miles, but on a car this new it is simply unacceptable.
