Oil Consumption
Did anyone check their oil before their first oil change? I noticed that mine used quite a bit of oil. I attribute this to 'engine burn in period'... or they just didn't fill it correctly from the factory.
Has anyone noticed this besides me? I looked at my garage floor and there aren't any drips or leaks.

My 2003 Acura MDX went thru oil quickly during breakin period........as DeWest said, keep an eye on it after first oil change. Not only was mine low it was BLACK!

I believe most VTEC motor equipped Hondas tend to burn oil during the break in. My S2000 burned a quart of oil every 1500 which was totally normal. On the RL, only between my first and second oil change did I see the motor burn half a quart. Then again, I kept the factory stuff in there for almost 5000 miles.
