Four problems related to engine burning oil have been reported for the 1998 Honda Passport. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Engine clicking, huge oil consumption by engine that is probably dispersed into environment.
I am complaining about a problem with my Honda Passport. This engine also has an excessive amount of oil consumption. Oil consumption is sporadic, but can exceed more than two quarts per 1000 miles driven. Oil consumption occurs regardless of driving conditions or load on vehicle. In combination with no dash warning, the oil consumption can lead to engine failure within the regular oil change interval, which I had learned the hard way. Now having to replace the engine.
I am complaining about another (as the dealer puts it) "common defect" with my Passport. In addition to the valve train premature wear, this engine also has an excessive amount of oil consumption. Oil consumption is sporadic, but can exceed more than two quarts per 1000 miles driven. Oil consumption occurs regardless of driving conditions or load on vehicle. In combination with no dash warning, the oil consumption can lead to engine failure within the regular oil change interval. Engine failure replacement at over 10,000 dollars per dealership. No external signs of oil consumption at the vehicle's rear. **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768007.
