Video Suggestion – Oil consumption

[Nik]

Hey Eric, Another topic I would like to see discussed is oil consumption in modern vehicles. I work for Honda, we are currently re-ringing motors as early as 40k miles. We’re not the only manufacture having issues. With the new 0 weight oils, low friction rings, variable cylinder management and maintenance intervals being further apart, cars are eating oil at a faster pace. Whats your opinion on the issue? What can the industry do to correct this issue?

Honda’s have been like that for some time. I’d have to look into the current issues to give an intelligent answer on that. You likely have something with your assessment however.

Thanks for the suggestion.
