Oil Consumption
Oil Consumption
How's the oil consumption?
I've been watching the dip stick because of the more or less quiet factory support for excessive oil consumption with the direct injection J Motors, on both the Honda and Acura sides.
But I'm coming up on the second oil change, 15K miles, and absolutely zero oil consumption so far.

Just changed the oil on the RLX this morning at 11,090 mi. Second oil change. Bought used in Mar '14 w/ 3K mi. Dumped oil then since it was a Jan '13 build, and I wasn't sure if dealer had changed the oil or not.
Anyway, oil level was right at the top of the grid on the dipstick this morning before I drained the pan. No noticeable oil loss. Kinda surprised me since I remembered the MDX ('10 model traded in on RLX) had burned over half a quart by the first oil change. It later settled in and didn't burn any oil after that, though.
