Found out a good friends 2007 accord is using a lot of oil. Quart about every 650 to 700 miles. Car has 185 k miles.. he bought the honda new.. did 3500 to 400 mile oil changes with mobil 1 at the honda suggested weight and spec..
This car had the pistons and bearings replaced by honda for huge oil burning when the car was just a few years old under some tsb or make good deal..
The car is worth 4000 and needs more than two grand in repairs in wheel bearings and hubs and brakes and exhaust.. that does not include trying to fix the engine again..
He is going to buy a new honda as soon as he can afford one.. in the mean time would using a heavier weight oil be helpful ??
