Figured out after I changed the oil this weekend I may have a problem. Oil+Filter requires ~4.4 qts. of oil. I was only able to drain bout 2.5 qts. Car has no oil leaks that I can see (nothing on ground). Last oil change was ~5-6 months and 6,000 miles ago.
Called dealer; extended warranty is 8-years or 125k miles. I'm 2-months out of extended warranty.
But before they can agree that I have an issue, I need to pay them to do an oil change (honda oil and honda filter) then come back every 1,000 miles for them to test the consumption (no charge for that, just my time). Then, they will go to Honda to see if they can get a good faith coverage (or whatever it's called) since I'm so close to the end of the warranty.
I have only changed the oil on this car ~5-times myself (none recently). All other oil changes were done at the dealer. So there is no way I would know there was a problem since they were the ones changing the oil. IMO that is a sound argument for Honda to cover this since THEY did 90% of the service on the car.
Do I do this, or just check the oil monthly and add as needed. Car only has 119k and I plan to give it to my son in a few years as a college car.
