Three problems related to engine burning oil have been reported for the 1999 Honda Passport. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Engine had been consuming oil, was told 1 qt. /1000 mi. Is standard. At 54,000 miles engine eventually consumed 5-6 quarts in 3000 miles and failed - number 1 & 2 rods and bearings shot. Honda refuses to acknowledge any problem with oil consumption and blames failure on oil deprivation (lack of maintenance) even though oil change receipts and witnesses to last 3000 mi. Oil adds have been provided. Will not buy another Honda product, even if it is built by them!.
This car burns oil at a very fast rate, with no sign of leaks, etc. Took to dealer and they can't find source. I have to check oil level and usually replace each week - I drive about 150 miles weekly. Seems very excessive to me, especially w/ no suggestion on how to fix.
Low oil pressure indicator came on. When I checked oil, 4 quarts low. Vehicle had been driven 4000 miles since last oil change. Contacted dealer who changed oil/filter and has initiated oil consumption test. No visible leaks. Since monitoring, vehicle has consumed 1/2 quart oil in 400 miles. I am concerned about an engine defect.
