I have about 3,500 on MC 5w-20 and when I checked the oil this morning it was down about 1/2qt, which is higher than normal. I now have about 53k on the engine. I'm wondering if I should check the PCV valve? Manual doesn't say when to check it for this car.
I'm really annoyed this car uses oil. I don't know if it's due to how I broke it in, or just the nature of the engine. The Honda 2.4L doesn't seem to be an oil burner from what I read. It could be the way I drive too. So far, only the Japanese cars I've owned have burned oil. My Dodge Ram and Ex's Ford Focus didn't use a drop. It's real pet peeve of mine when cars burn oil bc I drive so much and I don't like doing it. I might switch to a synthetic 30wt to see if that helps.
The next car I buy will get a good break-in with WOT/High Load right off the lot. I do think that helps.
