I own a 2013 Honda Accord sport, 4 cylinder earth dreams engine with 65000 miles on it. There is a very known issue with excessive oil consumption and oil burning in these earth dreams engines. The piston rings are faulty causing oil to be burned in the combustion chamber. Honda had a recall for this issue in 2008-2012 and this issue is happening in my vehicle. Prolonged oil consumption can seize the engine due to no oil being left in the engine to lubricate it. This needs to be addressed ASAP as this oil consumption issue has never been rectified.

10 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2018

My Honda Accord 2013 has a burning oil issue. For every 3,000miles, my dipstick will only have 1/2 or 1/4 from the original top level. I noticed this problem last September 2018 when I to a road trip in fresno. When I checked my dipstick, it hardly had any oil on the supposed level. I dropped by a gas station and poured 1quart of oil and the oil level went up to 1/2 of the dipstick. If I did not put oil, then my car would have been running without any oil and could just stop any moment I was driving. I informed century Honda on 12/01/2018 about the problem and powertrain warranty was still in effect. As of today, it appears century Honda refuses to address the issue.

I have been monitering my oil level consumption and for about 3 different oil changes (6200-6400 mile intervals).

And the low oil pressure light doesn't even come on until I apply the brakes harder than usual.

Takata recall. I was checking under the hood of my Honda and I checked my oil level and there was not a drop of oil in the engine.

15 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2017

Excessive oil consumption: I have a 2013 Honda Accord with 74,000 miles. I purchased the extended warranty package at time of purchase. The Accord engine has started using oil. At the last oil change there was only 1 quart of oil left in the engine. Consumption testing did not show 1 quart/1,000 miles so nothing was done by Honda. Between 2,000 and 3,000 miles of the consumption test oil was consumed at a rate of 1 quart or more per 1,000 miles. Honda still did nothing. I called american Honda and got no where. I have purchased several Honda's since 1987 but will never purchase another because of this willingness to do nothing. I was told to check the oil level every time I stopped for gas.

16 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 10/14/2016

Did my routine oil change at Hondas recommended 15% oil life since I purchased the vehicle new in August 2013 last year July 2016 went in for an oil change after a few months I was down to about 30% oil life I was driving home I applied the brakes and the oil light came on and I heard a noise coming from the motor I stopped and checked oil it was very low hardly any on dip stick I thought maybe when I did the oil change at dealer they didn't put correct amount of oil so I than did my own oil change topped it off ran for about a minute and checked oil it was filled I than drove it and again the oil was low but this time only with 40% oil life left I took it to dealer few weeks back they did the oil consumption test am waiting to hit a 1000 miles to take it back to them.

17 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 03/07/2016

Check engine light keeps going on since the car hit exactly 60,000 miles. Code said it is related to the fuel system. Changed the sensor; light was off and now back on. Continuously occurs while driving the vehicle on the highway or city streets. All gauges are fine and car is maintaining gas mileage. Could it be that the o-ring and fuel tank are only slightly better than that on the original 2013 Honda Accords (built with faulty fuel tanks) causing the o ring to wear out? how can this be checked. Also just want to note that my wife had a 2009 pilot that kept needed spark plugs and had excessive oil consumption--she got rid of the car because she kept arguing that something was wrong with the vehicle with the Honda dealership--Honda admitted to the problem and extended the powertrain warranty right after she got rid of the car.

18 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2016

Pre mature engine oil consumption.

19 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 12/12/2015

My 2013 4 cylinder Accord at approx. 35,000 is burning oil. I have taken to local Honda dealership for routine servicing per the maintenance minder system, last visit was 4,000 miles /3 months ago. I checked the oil level and it was below the mark on the dipstick to indicating to add oil. I called Honda corporate who suggested I take in to the dealer. Appointment is in two dyes from now. I surely hope I am not told this is normal as no engine this new should burn oil at this rate; fortunately I am still under the bumper to bumper and powertrain warranty.

20 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 12/13/2013

Oil lamp indicator light began blinking and heard noise from the engine. The car was taken to the dealership and they did an oil consuption test and basically the egine is burning oil about 2 quarts are burning around 3000 miles and oil lap indicates oil change is not due for another 70 percent. I did the test many time and they are buying time. If I dont check oil and keep driving then the engine will burst. The dealer wont help me its a manufacture default vehicle and they keep says its normal. Its not normal for oil lap light to come on on a brand new car and the oil change was not even due. Its a lemon and needs to be taken care of.
