09+ Oil consumption
Hello,
I am considering an 09+ RL but am concerned about the MDX and TL AWD owners complaints of oil burning. I don’t see much regarding the RL, but with the same 3.7 is this an issue for many of you? |
2012 RL 108.8k miles. Never has used any oil at all. I have it changed every 5-7k miles.
|
Interesting, thank you. I haven’t been able to find much about the RL burning either |
I own my rl since it was 3yo and freshly of a 12000/year lease. (2005 bougt in 2008 from a honda factory auction, still my daily driver) I know its not 3.7 but they gotta be smilar. Oil burning since i have it, not getting worse... also oil gets dark pretty fast after a change
|
Before assuming its burning, check for oil reservoir leaks from bolts, etc.
Many Hondas exhibit side leaks on reservoirs / or drain plug leaks. |
There's a new TSB out for the 3.7 motors in the TL AWD, MDX and RL. See the 4G TL forum, where it is listed under TSBs.
|
Yup just scheduled an appt for my oil consumption issue. They will want you to do a factory oil change first. then you bring it back after a 1k miles for them to evaluate.

Received in Feb 2019 TSB 'Warranty Extension: Engine Oil Consumption
Havn't experienced this on both 2005 and 2001 RLs but will check with my Acura dealer next service. |
