Oil Consumption - Pilot
I have a Honda 2007 Pilot 2ith 60,000 miles - and every 3000 to 4000 miles the oil level is extremely low to where I have to addd 1 or 2 quart of oil.
The dealership conducted a consimption test and told me that it is normal for Pilot to burn 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles? I told them that would mean that I would be out of oil every 5000 miles.
Any feedback and suggestion?

My wife and I have owned 64 Dodge s/w, 59 Chrysler, and now Acuras and before that Hondas. Almost all of the listed car burned oil. My mechanic said that it was normal. And when I overhauled my 53 Chev convert it too burned about one qt. too.
I don't think that 1 qt is excessive just normal wear and tear.
Good luck to all and stay safe.

Does it make sense that after 5,000 miles i would be out of oil - if I follow the "every 1,000 mile it is normal to losse a quart of oil"?
I expected a better response or resolutionf rom HONDA.
But, that's what you are up against....
I have a car right now, that seems to be using about a quart every 4000-5000 miles, and that doesn't make me very happy, either... Especially since this is the 4th car in a row with basically the same engine... and, none of the others have used a quart in even 15K miles....
(also, I think you are supposed to add a quart, when you are low... not, wait to run out after 5000 miles.. )
