Car has been excessively using oil since I bought it. Have it documented by the dealer when taking it for oil changes about the oil consumption. Campaign is released for oil consumption and I am told don't qualify b/c now I supposed have three oil leaks. I have never saw oil in my driveway. Called Acura client services, useless. Didn't help me at all. Feel they just released it to show they are doing something when, they aren't helping the owners. Now engine has a tick to it at 120,000 and I am told my rear cam shaft and rocker arms are deteriorating. I can't believe this. This car has been nothing but a nightmare. It was one thing after another. My repair file is into two file folders. I paid for reliability and that is not what I got. Very disappointed - this was a horrible engine design, no wonder they stop producing it.

I changed my oil and drove my vehicle roughly 1500 miles in over a month timeframe and I properly checked my oil while the car was stationary on level ground to find that my oil level was very low. I thoroughly checked my engine for any oil leaks and there was no leaks to be found. There is never an oil leak in my garage where I park my vehicle everyday. At this point it is reasonable to assume that the engine is burning oil in some way.

Engine oil consumption when there are no leaks detected underneath. This past week my engine light came on, this is the third time this has happened. I added 2 quarts of oil when I am only 50% through the use until my next oil change.

I've had my vehicle stop in the middle of the road due to a mechanical recall that went undiagnosed. ( over oil consumption recall, in which I was completely unaware until finally receiving the letter prodivided) I was driving off of pleasant street in hanson MA, crossing onto the main road when my vehicle engine just shut down and froze the steering wheel. Also a police officer was on the scene to help me safely off the road. I have been calling Acura of Honda and they have been running me in circles with numerous people on the phone and denied that they are willing to cover this problem, and this is a major safety issue. Which the claim safety is first and for the client, but they have failed to deliver on their own words in the safety recall. The car is currently down in hopes that they supply a repair since they have been much aware of this issue, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Excessive oil consumption due to faulty piston rings. Mine is not an isolated problem Acurazine website has discussion threads about this defect.

Excessive oil consumption has now led to 2 engine replacements (this is the cars 3rd engine, original plus 2 replacements). I have had 3 oil consumption test (oct), all showing that there was significant consumption. The local Acura dealership (auto nation Acura of spokane (ana)), is unable of being trusted and incapable of any significant repair so I have been traveling to another Acura dealership over 700 miles away for honest and quality work (ana botched the 2nd oct as they knowingly added oil right before my 2nd trip to the other dealer). Thankfully for me I check my oil every fill up as required by the oct and mark it's level. Unfortunately for me, this negated the second test (even though it should a significant loss, ana of spokane denied topping it off). I then had to do the 3rd oct, and in 3 days put the required minimum 1,000 miles required and returned to dealer 2. Again there findings showed excessive consumption and put in the 3rd engine. Because the replacement time was longer than I could stay, I flew home. There are many forums out there with thousands of people having the same oil consumption issue. It is a manufactors defect with the j37 model engine (also used in many other Acura & Honda vehicles.

My vehicle is burning 1qt of oil every 1000 miles. That amounts to 3qts every 3000miles. With no remedy in site.
