2009 Acura RDX 1G

Hello everyone, looking for input on my current situation. The last couple of oil changes I have lost a good 2+ qt's of oil between changes.
I wasn't even able to make it the full cycle because it was losing so much. Clearly there are no leaks so it has to be internal.
Other than oil loss the only symptoms are a little oil in the intercooler and smoke when flooring the car. There is no smoke during normal driving conditions.
It does have a tune on it with bigger injectors so I originally thought the smoke was from the air-fuel ratio.

Any input on this would be much appreciated. Has anyone else experienced this with the RDX?

Thanks, Macker

 

Hi!

Start by check/replace PCV first.

Altair,

Thanks for taking the time to respond. It seems like an inexpensive solution so will be worth a shot.
I will let you know if I have any luck with this. I called the dealer and they stated that losing a qt of oil per 1000miles was in spec.
That spec seems pretty outrages to me lol. I'd have to add 3qt of oil between every oil change at that rate. Crazyness.

Thanks, Luke McCormack
