I have a 2009 Pilot with the V-6 VCM and I used to use up to 2 quarts in a 5-6k OCI. The Pilot is my wife's daily driver and I find it incredibly frustrating that we've had to worry about oil consumption on a new vehicle. At about 29k we brought the vechile to Honda and I complained that it had been running rough when cold (this was a complaint for about the last year)and I told them about the consumption. The dealer found three spark plugs fouled with oil so they replaced them, updated the comoputer and started an oil consumption test. I just changed the oil myself tonight after about 8k miles and if there was any consumption, it was less than 1/4 qt. We generally happy with the vehicle but I still dont trust these V-6 VCM engines. We inted to keep the vehicle for the long haul and I'm wondering how many miles I can count on this engine for.
