1 year agoSame situation, I burn a gallon between changes and have to add a qt every 1200ish miles. Just keep riding it out and dont let the oil get lower than a quart at any time and youll be fine. Ive been going on 50K miles like this with no other issues.
08 Honda Fit, so similar category of vehicle.
I doubt vehicles will ever be made to last that long even if possible. Especially as newer types of cars (EVs) have less maintenance costs the dealers are really going to need to push people into buying a new car every X number of years, which I imagine theyll do with planned obsolescence like all the electronics manufacturers do.
They are already doing it now, if your battery is done for they just say oh well buy a new battery for 10K or a new car lol
