Honda accord 2008 burning oil?
Hi, I have a honda accord 2008 with 90k miles & it's burning oil. It's not leaking. I do an oil change every 2000 miles, i use honda genuine oil 5w-20. Which oil should I used so my car can stop burning it?
Changing oil brands or grades won't help.
You have worn engine parts. Are you sure it's burning and not leaking? Also, how much? A quart or even two every change cycle isn't awful. Not good, but not awful either!
Check you PCV system for proper operation. Be sure it has a good vacuum stream to it. A plugged PCV system can cause leaks or "burning."
You didn't mention anything about smoking. If its blowing blue smoke out of the tail pipe. This means oil is getting into the combustion chamber. 3 ways to get into chamber… Pistion rings worn, valve guides worn, or bad valve seals. Hondas are known for this problem.
Changing the oil won, t help any! If it, s smoking when it, s running then check the PCV valve to see if it, s clogged up! Also check the air filter for any oil! If the PCV valve is clogged then it can push the oil up into the air filter and the engine can suck the oil into the engine!
First of all you can't tell if it is leaking or burning, because the rear main seal is the main place it leaks, and you can't see that when driving.
But a bad PVC or leaking injector can cause the problem.
However, changing oil can help.
First do a compression test.
If compression is below 100, then switch to 20w-50.
If you have a turbo charger, check that for leakage inside the exhaust.

- Oil Change: Honda Motor Oil Vs Generic oil, does it make a difference? I have been getting oil changes with Honda motor oil for 15 years on my 2002 civic that now has 132K miles. If I switch to a generic $10 oil change garage shop will it still be ok? I know the Honda filters are better then the cheapest generic ones but how about the actual motor oil?
- 97 Honda Civic is burning oil or leaking oil from this bolt? It has oil building up around the bolt, not a lot but enough that you notice it right at first glance the others are dry what should i do? Unscrew and check the O ring or what? I'm not a car guy unfortunately. It has been burning oil recently it probably burns a quart every 3-6 weeks min or 5-9weeks max. Unless its just leaking somewhere, and this little bolt guy is my first suspect.
- 2001 Honda civic burning oil quickly. Diagnosis? Have a 01 civic at 179k. Got an oil change few weeks ago. Hit 750 miles driving and noticed oil was really low. Poured a quort in. Next day drove around a little. When I took out the dip stick, some white fumes came out from under the engine. Stuck dip stick back in, took it out and same result. No leaks on floor. Anybody have an idea?
