I believe I have excessive oil consumption with my Crosstour. The dealer wants me to have the oil checked every 1,000 miles. After they topped it off and having gone 700 miles I believe I'm already down 1/2 quart.
I called Honda Cooperate Headquarters today and they said that acceptable oil consumption is 1 quart per 1,000 miles. That doesn't equate if the oil is changed approximately every 6,000 miles then you would be adding 6 quarts between oil changes.(current mileage is 9,800). My previous Toyota didn't loose a drop between oil changes which I had done every 3,000 miles and was advised that I could go 5,000 to 6,000 miles between oil changes.
Is this the price we pay for Honda ride comfort??

Not me....as much as I like my CT, if mine used oil like that I'd get rid of it in a hurry!

^^^^^^What he said, but before that happened I'd be all over Honda 'til they were sick of the site of me.


"Acceptable" ... my rear end.

mine still ok no need to add any oil it over 3,000 miles.
I would not like it if i have to add 1qt on every 1,000 miles i will be piss some ppl from Honda's Headquarters they don't know SH*t i tell ya.

I agree. Heck , you would run out of oil if you didn't check it at a rate of 1 qt per 1k. Reasonably, who checks their oil every thousand miles today? (Sans a known problem)
