My 2015 Honda CR-V (2.4 liter with 71K miles) began burning oil after I switched out Valvoline 0W/20 with Mobil 1 0W/20. I switched back about 7500 miles later when my wife mentioned that a light was coming on when she either stopped or took off. I checked the oil and the dipstick was dry! I topped the oil off with 2.5 Quarts of Mobil 1 then drained about a week later and replaced with Valvoline 0W/20 and replaced the PCV valve (old one and new one rattled when shook).I then began to keep a close check on the dipstick. I initially I saw some oil loss on the dipstick over a few thousand miles but after a 2nd change and after a 900 mile round trip the oil level is still fine. My wife usually drives the CR-V and drives easy. I decided that while on this trip that I would make several high RPM fast pulls to see because I had read about carbon buildup in the cylinders. Now with 1550 miles after the oil change, the oil on the dipstick hasn’t moved. The only conclusion that I can come to is that the Mobil 1 oil is the reason for the oil consumption. I will continue to monitor. Hope this may help anyone who’s having oil consumption issues with the 2.4.

[@jeanettes2170]

RB The Mechanic I have a 2014 Accord and oil was low at 40% life and I started seeing oil light flash on and off. I added 1 quart of synthetic because that’s what the dealer switched to before the last oil change. Went for the oil change at dealer and they said it was lucky I hadn’t blown up the engine. The oil was never low before this. I told them it was a leak somewhere. They came back to me and said it was timing cover leaking. Do you think it’s the synthetic oil seeping through some seals because it’s thinner than regular oil?

Or the problem is not the oil?thanks Honda gang 🤙🏽

[@jordanmorales8610]

97,000 miles and mine does great as far as oil consumption. I’m at about 4k miles since my last oil change (I only use synthetic) and the oil level is near the top of the indicator. Very happy how mine has performed thus far, I’ve had 0 mechanical problems and the only maintenance I’ve done is oil and filter change every 6k miles. Just now I did transmission fluid, brakes rotors & pads, brake fluid, coolant, spark plugs and serpentine belt and engine air filter. Hoping to get another 100,000 miles at least!

[@Peelerusa]

Here is a tip on how to handle this problem, based on my experience in getting my Honda dealer to cover this repair on my 2009 Accord. My car was repaired under Honda Safety recall #JN9 which covered the sticking piston rings that was the cause excessive oil consumption and damage to my timing chain. When you go to the dealer, you will have to pay up front for an oil change, then return to the dealer after driving 1000 miles to have the level checked. They may tell you that Honda considers "normal" oil consumption to be 1 quart over 1000 miles, but any reputable mechanic will tell you that is baloney. I have always had a high opinion of my Honda dealership, but my dealership was deceitful, and tried to pull a fast on on me by adding an extra quart of oil to the crankcase during the oil change and refill, so you should tell them that you want to witness and confirm the oil level on the dipstick PRIOR to you taking possession of your car. That way, when you return for the 1000 mile inspection it will show the TRUE consumption rate. If you don't already know how to read a dipstick, then I suggest you have someone show you before going to the dealer so they can't BS you. Also, if you currently hear a rattling noise from your engine upon acceleration, your timing chain may have become slack from oil deprivation, so insist that they check that too. Since my timing chain was slack beyond tolerance it was a covered repaired under the recall, along with the piston ring replacement repair, all at no charge. I even got them to give me a loaner car for the 4 days that they had my car in the shop. The repair was made over 3 years ago, and I have no further issues with oil consumption or a rattling timing chain. I really love my Accord, but I am pretty sour on Honda as a corporation, for they showed their true colors when it came time to honor their warranty. Do your research and become informed so if the dealership tries to dance around their obligation to make repairs, you can challenge them. Lots of luck to you.

It pisses me off thinking about what amount of wear and tear may already have occurred. Also, it turns out that Honda is aware of the problem to some degree, based on the availability of multiple TSBs (technical service bulletins) stating that this is a known issue. I want to get it fixed, but that $718 sounds a little scary right now as I am a college student. What ended up being the problem, just that valve??

What is sad, is they are blaming a pcv valve. While pcv valves will eventually cause a problem, my daughters cross tour ( a modified accord) has 10,000 miles original and it’s burning oil very bad. Honda has tested it and stated it’s not a consumption problem. This oil as shown in the tail pipe, will eventually plug up the catalytic converter! When and if she damages her engine, or requires a catalytic converter, even if the vehicle is beyond warranty Honda will be looking after her I promise!

Carbon on the tailpipe is not indicative of an engine that is burning oil. It is particulate matter which is a symptom of direct injection that occurs on most, if not all, DI vehicles.

[@Jimmyxsx]

Most of the time it is, especially if you touch it with your finger and it feels greasy. When its plain carbon from fuel it feels dry.

[@waboom248]

Carbon in the tailpipe is normal. All fossil burning engines do it. But you're right it shouldn't be oily.

[@dutchmankamstra96]

If the tail pipe deposits are black and wet, it is oil. In this case the deposits were black, dry, and sooty. That is a by product of direct injection and nearly all cars with this "technology" will have sooty exhaust pipes... not to mention carboned -up valves.

VALVOLINE IS MUCH BETTER: I have a 2016 Honda Accord Sport. Purchased new w/ 3 miles. I first ran Honda synthetic blend 0-20W oil and I saw consumption in excess of what I would like. Enough that during long change intervals calculated by computer I would need to top it off. Eventually switched to Valvoline Modern Engine 0-20W full synthetic. This is now discontinued. But I was buying it at Walmart for about $40 for a 5 qt. jug. It was marketed for GDI engines with the claim that it reduced carbon (coking) buildup on the intake valves. I immediately noticed a significant reduction in oil consumption with the Valvoline. Significant enough that I would not longer need to top off between changes. But I also wanted to verify I wasn't crazy so I switched back to Honda synthetic blend and the oil consumption returned. I switched back again to the Valvoline and the consumption essentially went away. So I have been through about 4-5 oil changes with the Valvoline and it has been consistent. After I had trouble finding it I discovered it was discontinued. At that point I went online and bought up a bunch of remaining stock I could find. My car has 70,000 miles on it. Based on current product offering the most equivalent oil according to Valvoline is their Advanced Full Synthetic. I hope this helps some of you people out with oil consumption issues on this engine. For me, using the Valvoline made this problem disappear. Separate topic but I also recently switched from the Honda MTF in the 6sp manual to the Amsoil synchromesh. The Amsoil is a little better than the Honda MTF when cold. I found that when cold the manual transmission can be a little stubborn especially engaging 1st gear at a rolling stop. It really won't slip into 1st easily when cold if the wheels are turning. Once warmed up everything is slick as butter both with Honda MTF and Amsoil and I can return to executing my "California stops" the way I want.

I have been dealing with this for years to the point that I would give up. My engine blew at $165k. I was on the highway and the engine icon started flashing, the car wouldnt accelerate at all.

When buying used , be mindful of the car’s history ( CarFax ) and a one owner is a safe bet if it was a senior who had the money for regular servicing . In colder climates it’s almost essential to install a air / oil separator ( mishimoto )

Hello Rb, I hope you are well. For some time I have noticed oil consumption in my Honda Accord 2013 sport as well as carbon deposit in the exhaust pipe. Today I did a check under the hood. I opened the radiator cap and there was an overflow and the coolant reservoir is above max level. Can it be something with the pistons and/or piston rings, head gasket, and or pcv valve? If you can help me a bit on ideas of what you think it can be, I would appreciate it.

Replace the pcv valve and start using gtx castrol oil and then keep on eye on the oil level hopefully doing this oil brand clean up piston rings

He said he couldn't pass it for emissions because it was burning oil. I couldn't believe it, but he showed me the tailpipe and it was worse than the car in your video. He looked it up online and said it was a known problem, but rare. The rings were worn out. I wasn't excited to rebuild the engine, so he found me an engine from the junkyard and that engine hasn't had any problems - I have to remember to check the oil occasionally, but it's always up to the line. So, some cars 10 years newer than my 2004 are having the same problem. Why?

I think it’s the piston ring oil return fail! Same problem as the 8th gen accord

To those asking if they should buy a Honda Accord in light of these very well documented issues...answer is yes, buy it. A month later come on here to talk about how your Honda is drinking oil like drunken sailor. I think its idiotic to buy one of these cars. I have owned 3 cars in my life. Honda Prelude (1992), Civic (2001) and Accord (2013). By far the Accord is the worse of them all. Burned oil from day one. Replaced the rear calipers at 60k they were frozen. Wheel hub at 80k miles. The oil drinking was not bad enough to qualify for replacement parts. Recently in 1500 miles it went through 2 quarts. Replacing the PCV this weekend. I'm SOL since the car has 100k miles and is not covered in the current TSB or extended warranty they are offering the 8th gen accords. The Honda of today, is NOT the same Honda of the 80s, 90s or 00s. Consumer reports ranked them lower in reliability than Kia, Hyundai and 10 other manufacturers in 2019 (maybe 2020, not sure). Check out the CR-V and accord turbo engine issues. They have the opposite issue. The oil level increases....gas is mixing with oil. There is a class action law suit. I have also owned Honda lawnmowers, motorcycles and generators. I will never own a Honda car again. Buy cars based on data. Consumer reports is a good place to start. Currently top three rankings got to Mazda, Toyota, Lexus in that order.

I have 2004 accord it’s well built honda don’t drink any oil and drink less gas more MPG

@@RBTheMechanic Do you have PCV replacement video on a 2006-2010 Civic? There are a few but they are not that well done. The area is tight and some people are bending the bracket back. Not sure if that is safe to do, would hate to break it. Would like to see you do a video that is detailed and easy to follow. I have one that has 223k miles on it and just started to drink oil. Want to replace it. thanks

@@eee2115 sorry I don’t but just added to my list will do video on that very soon with full details

@@RBTheMechanic Awesome. I will be doing the job in the next week or so. I think with the Civic getting on in age, you will definitely get good hits on your video. I called Honda and they wanted to charge $200 for it. 1 hour labor! If it takes an experienced mechanic more than 15 min to do this job I would be surprised. 1 hr for me, that is pretty standard for whatever I do.

5yr 60k which ever of the 2 comes 1st when you bought the car also if you are the 2nd owner no warranty so is hard honda have the worse warranty also when the vtech kicks in also the oil burns so is the way the engine was build

@@RBTheMechanic I also have the same issues about less then 2k my oil is at the lower mark and I am always on full throttle I don't baby it my car now has 94k but the eng have 74k and still doing the same thing but when I drive normal my oil last 2.5k to 3k is depending on the oil I use too when I use mobil 1 my car last longer with it vs valvoline I already try it and 0w20 is to thin for this cars when this cars generate to much heat, so I might change it 5w30 when my oil changed is do so I could see the difference.

Same issue on a 2013 accord sport..everyone please file a complaint with the NHTSA so they can issue a recall for bad piston rings

[@mrg6822]

I have heard that these Honda Earth Dreams engines absolutely need to be allowed to warm up in cold weather before even thinking about driving down the road. I would allow at least 10 minutes of just warming at idle before driving. My mom has this engine also and I have warned her about just starting it up in the cold weather and just going. Not a good thing to do really on any car, but especially on these engines. Good luck.

@@mrg6822 Indeed. Annoying part is the remote start. The engine shut down itself when you unlock the doors.
