[Michael Hogains]

your car ate a quart of oil in under 300 miles??

 

[KennyGS]

Wow. You're really getting a new motor. How do they know this one won't do the same?

 

[SCFast]

Man crazy new motor ehh.... I have noticed some consumption by 5k...will be switching to mobile on my first change next week and we will see if it stops.

yup and that was over estimating the miles. Its in the shop now for the last test results and will be sending it to honda shortly. Ill see if I can get a picture of the test results.

so when you said - you weren't the only one.... that dealership has other 2012's that are having this issue?

 

[Michael Hogains]

yes 3 cases so far the newest one is worse than mine. I got my results back and no oil consumption from last week to this week it seems to be a hit and miss thing im not sure.

I'm not following.

I'm guessing that was the result on the previous week?... and then this week he didn't have any loss of oil. Like honda is having him do weekly visits?

totally guessing - because that post confused me too

 

[Michael Hogains]

nope thats right weekly visits next week is the last visit

 

[thevietkid33]

I just went home and checked my oil it is down about a quart. I did check it when I bought the car and was full. I have 3000 miles on the car now.also have the reflash. Guess its time to get my first oil change .

"going to be an update for it anyway"

-an update for...?

The oil consumption. They updated the accord and crv also for the same problem. The k24 eats oil.

I have the reflash but it's been eating the oil since I bought it. I've had it since September. I've got 12200 miles on it now.

Hondas regional service manager will be in on Thursday to take a look at it. Wonder what they will say??

My K20Z3 ate oil, albeit not a quart every 300 miles, but I would never let it go without checking the oil at least once a week.

Hell, the owner's manual for my vette says to check the oil level on my LS3 everytime I get gas.

Engines that are intended to be pushed, tend to use more oil than what's customarily expected. However, your situation sounds extreme.

Guess it's time I check my oil level...

My friend works at a local honda, I asked if he had any 2012 si's on the lot when I last visited him a week ago, he said all of them are having oil consumption issues and they do not know why yet, hope they can figure it out.

The sevrice manual in the si says the same thing.
