I purchased a brand new 2006 Honda Accord, with a 4 cylinder engine and 5 speed manual. The car is a lx special edition, with a 2. 4 liter, 4 cylinder. The car has burned excessive amounts of oil since day one. It burns more than 2 quarts of oil between each oil change. At first I thought it was due to the thin oil that is required and that it was just the break in, but it keeps getting worse. I have run the factory Honda oil and filter and the problem keeps getting worse. This oil change I tried mobil 1 synthetic oil in the recommended weight, but it did not help. The oil is at 50% and the car has already burned over 1 quart of oil with just over 20,000 miles on the car. I have done all of the required oil changes at the proper intervals. The cars transmission is also abnormally stiff when it is warming up. A friend of mine was able to insist that they rebuild his manual transmission for similar problems. The excessive oil burning is the problem I am writing about though.
