Consistently getting low oil notification shortly after getting oil changes. This has been happening since 2017. Dealer does a oil consumption test and says it is not a problem. However I cannot go between oil changes without getting the notification. I have no oil leaks. Furthermore, I have had 'oil' services done over the past 5 years that never fix the problem. I'm afraid this is doing damage to the vehicle and can put us in danger if oil level is too low. Dealer continues to say it isn't a problem. And when they try to fix it, it doesn't work. This began in 2017

This vehicle unrealistically burns oil. 5-6 quarts of oil is added to engine between oil changes.

About 2 months ago, my SUV had a message alert come on while I was sitting still after just starting my vehicle in walmart parking lot after grocery shopping, saying to check the oil level; oil level low. Also, just recently, March 27th I had to add oil to my vehicle again; 3/4 of a quart low on oil. The very next morning, I had another alert come across my message board saying to check the oil level- oil level low. So I checked it again, it showed at the top of the hash marks on the dipstick as it should. So I'm not sure what's going on there unless it's a malfunction of sorts or a sensor issue. I check my oil when I fill up my gas tank. All of a sudden, my SUV was burning/ using oil. I have to keep putting oil in due to a low oil level look entirely too often. I've had to put oil in my engine at least twice a month. And I'm not talking about just enough to top it off, I'm talking anywhere from 3/4 of a quart to 3 quarts or more at times. There are no leaks, no puddles or oil splatter on the bottom of my truck or in my driveway. My truck is having a severe oil consumption problem. I know there was an extended vehicle warranty that was supposed to fix this that expired April of 2021-I did not get this vehicle until September of 2020. Also, I did do the thousand mile test and it failed miserably. No one can tell me if it was fixed or not, but obviously, either way, it did not get fixed or the fix did not work. It is a costly fix and it is a manufacturer fail, not mine. This needs to be fixed before it creates any future problems or years up the pistons in my engine or locks up. Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated! thank you.

My 2012 Acura MDX has an oil consumption issue that Acura is aware of being a problem, however it is not offering to cover the cost associated with fixing the issue. My vehicle burned through more than 2 quarts of oil in a matter of 1 month. This needs to be a recall as it's a safety issue with the operation of the vehicle. Lack of oil could cause the engine to fail.

The contact owns a 2012 Acura MDX. For the past three years, the contact noticed an oil consumption issue with the vehicle. The contact researched and discovered that the manufacturer issued technical service bulletin (tsb) number: B19-006 on May 18, 2019. The tsb was a warranty extension titled 'engine oil exceeds client expectations'. the contact took the vehicle to crown Acura richmond (8704 w broad St, henrico, va 23294) for an oil consumption test and was informed to come back when the oil was low after driving 3,000 miles. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer on October 17, 2019 and was informed that nothing could be done since it was close to 3,000 miles. The contact spoke with the manufacturer about the oil consumption failure over the past three years and felt like they and the dealer were not helpful once the oil consumption failure was discovered. The contact had not received follow-up calls to address the failure and was not alerted of the tsb when it was issued. The failure mileage was 157,420.

I recently received a letter from Acura for regarding engine oil consumption. This could affect the performance of the engine. Acura is aware that there is an issue regarding this, however they are requiring that an oil change be done through the dealership at the owners expense for the affected vehicles. Acura should preform the inspection either in another manner, or they should provide the oil change at their own expense if that is the only option to check if this is an issue. The other option would be to allow the consumer to get an oil change at another service center that may be less expensive than what the dealer charges. It seems that Acura is trying to benefit from their own issue.

Acura MDX 2012 - persistent slow start of the engine; engine is straining to turn over/start. I have replaced the battery 4 times, checked all possible problems (starter, spark plugs etc.) but same random, periodic problem of the engine struggling to start. Related problem: Fuel tank appears to be somewhat loose; when I buy gasoline, I can see the gas tank move. In addition, it is difficult to fill up the car with gas; the gas pump cuts off before the gas tank is to the "full" level. My gut tells me that these 2 problems are somehow affecting my car starting. My car has only 51,000 miles on it. I take good care/maintain it. I have read others complaining about the same problem!!! Acura should fix this! too expensive of a car; where is the quality"?" this is an ongoing problem of my 2012 Acura MDX. Please help.

The engine oil on this models burns out very quickly. I have noticed that I get indicator to change engine oil in about every 6000 miles even though I use synthetic oil which has the life spam of up to 12000 miles. I use my car for normal drive from home to work and leisure.
