Sad to say, the few times oil consumption like that has been tracked down on late model Hondas (some under warranty) I believe it has been broken rings and was only found on teardown.

Your rings and/or bearings are worn. Smoke will not issue from the tailpipe until consumption is about 200 miles per quart; the cat will soak it all up.

It contributes. Worn bearings = lower oil pressure which = less lubrication in critical areas which compounds overall wear in the engine. Simple cause and effect...

The rings can't cope with the volume, so a lot gets by them. SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
