How many of you have started to notice your V using oil? Mileage & Date would be good to know.

That is nowhere near being a cause for concern. One L every 1600 km is approximately what Honda says is acceptable. (One quart per 1000 miles.)

I have to dump a quart of oil into our Civic every week until I can get the oil pan gasket replaced. Plus, at nearly 240,000 miles, it is burning a bit of oil due to the oil rings on the pistons being caked up. This is very high consumption. I would be happy if it only lost a quart over 5,000 miles.

As best I can see this thread was intended for Gen3 cars only, not Gen2 or Gen4 or other, yet several of those have posted, which skews the numbers. Gen 3 is really divided into two sections, Gen3 (07,8,9) and Gen3.5 (10,11), due to engine changes. There is a recall on piston rings in the '10 and'11 models, with specific parameters. I've heard of few issues with the first group, and a moderate number in the second group. Do your research to determine if you qualify for the engine work. There are several informative threads on this here.
