- Acura Coverage - I work at an Acura dealership, occasionally we get this issue with the tsx, we have one in here now he has I believe 90k and Acura is covering the engine oil consumption issue I believe its covered for 150k? don't quote me but most dealers cover this work, and commonly we have replaced the pistons and rings, current one in shop they are checking the block but if you have this issue I recommend bringing this information to your dealer and asking about the coverage SOME MAY cover this.

I bought a 2010 Acura with a 6 speed manual tranny from a dealership. It had 61k on it - but I didn't notice it burned oil until one day I decided to check it and the dipstick didn't have any oil at all. I'm amazed my oil light didn't come on and my engine didn't blow. Now I have to add about 2-3 quarts between oil changes and I only go by the light on the dash that tells the percentage of oil life. Now my car has 83k miles and it's annoying because I have to check it every so often.
I never had this problem with other cars and I even owned a turbo 2001 Audi A4. If anyone knows a solution, it would be really helpful, thank you. I heard it can run for a long time, as long as you keep adding oil - but I'm afraid that it will become much worse and I'll have to add oil every 500 miles or less.
