Time to go back to the dealer
Well if any of you remember, a few months ago i posted how i had noticed my car was using up oil like a mofo. The dealer had looked into it, and said it used 1.5qts since they did an oil change 1800 miles earlier, but Acura specs allow up to 1qt per 1000 miles so they couldn't do anything about it. (Acura's 800# confirmed that spec.) They suggested I check my oil often and keep a log of the level.
Well the other day i checked and it was down to the add line. I put in 1qt, checked the mileage, and had only put on 800 mi. since my last change.
Now this time they better do something about it. I didn't buy a new LEV car to have to buy a quart of oil in every month!

Be extreemly vigilant... By 3,000 miles (2-months only on my new CL-S)I had a low oil-pressure flashing at me... I paniced a bit pulled over... found there no oil that I can see... get my CL-S to the dealer 3-days later I found out that I have a severe engine oil leak?!!!!
After a long 1-month nightmare... I got my CL-S back with its engine rebuilt... They chnaged the lower engine block and new gaskets!....
What can I say I am the luckiest on this BB.
