Hi all,
I've been dealing with my 2010 TSX with the I4 engine burning oil for the last year and a half now. I cannot make it to 5k miles without a low oil light (the light normally goes on at 3k-3.5k.) Honda/Acura is being super douchey and saying they won't deal with it until it's burning 1qt every 1k miles.
Now, there's a TSB out on the 2010 TSX manual trasmission that indicates the cylinder walls can get scratched and cause exactly my problem - oil burn. But I'm in an automatic, so Honda won't help me. I've considered going to a local japanese auto shop to have them crack the engine open to examine it at my cost (unless there are scratches, then I'd bill Acura for the work and demand they start giving me free oil changes for the next couple years...) but this seems like a step I shouldn't have to take....and if I'm wrong and the cylinder walls aren't scratched, it's at my expense.
Any thoughts? What should I do?
