- Simple 5-minute Fix Excessive Oil Consumption, Oil Burning, Spark Plug Fouling And Disabling VCM - Simple 5-minute fix for Honda with 3.5L V6 Engine with VCM (Variable Cylinder Management). n 2013 a class-action lawsuit was filed against Honda, 1.6 million vehicles between 2008-2013 had been identified having potential for high oil consumption and misfires due to VCM Operation on 3.5L V6 Engines. Honda extended the warranty for these vehicles but did not correct the problem. This did not include the millions of vehicles between 2005-2007 that also had the same defective issues and had owners complaining of repeated failure of costly motor mounts to VCM operation, damaged transmission torque converters, fouled spark plugs and excessive oil consumption at the rate of up to 1 qt for every 1000 miles. Honda claimed this was normal.

This 2005 Odyssey uses the same style VTEC motor that was part of the class action suit. Excessive oil burning damaging the exhaust system, including the converters, throwing DTC's P0420 and P430. Went through 2 quarts of oil in 700 miles. This engine also has a very high failure rate on motor mounts which are insanely expensive. Got an estimate from my local Honda dealer to repair P0420, P0430 and P0AB6 which is for the rear engine mount, $4100. Makes me want to run right out and buy another one.
