I have had 3 Honda's and I religiously change oil because I believe it is most important to provide auto longevity and minimum maintenance.
Now I am finding out about a problem with VCM on my Honda Pilot.
On one of my scheduled oil changes, mechanic told me there was no oil on my dipstick when he went to change. I was surprised and concerned. So I checked DTC code and saw P3400 DTC. Saw it was related to cylinder deactivation.
I took my Pilot to the Honda dealer for next oil change (and recall fix for air bag), and mentioned the issue. I was told that oil usage of one quart for each 1000 miles was expected. RIDICULOUS!!!
Now my check engine light is on and I have a fouled spark plug (or more) I'm sure. Taking to Honda Dealer again.

I was a proud Honda owner. Not so now.
