Most likely that much $$$. This is also assuming no other long term problems of burning that much oil on other systems. The 07-09 engine didn't have this issue. I don't know if the engine blocks are interchangeable if that is cheaper than a fix?
let me know when there will be no compression in one of the cylinders on your MDX.
Sure. Hey, anything else better than BG PLATINUM 44K Fuel System Cleaner?
Yep, that's pretty much the issue with 2010+ models. It's a known thing admitted by Acura with a TSB and extended warranty. Too late for that for you now, it should have been done earlier when the warranty extension was still valid. Unfortunately, now you're on your own. Pretty expensive fix (piston replacement, you're looking at a $3K+ job roughly).
Yep that's the only way, unless you go all the way and change the piston rings etc etc
Shhhh. Don't give people ideas....
don't worry, people who buy that will come to this web site for help.I'm not sure if this is the same situation with your 2nd Gen MDX, I would contact Acura and/or nhtsa.gov with your VIN about recalls or service issues. I had an winter snow accident in 2019 that totaled my 2013 MDX (135,000 miles) which I replaced with a 2016 MDX. My 2013 also would burn oil and in 2020, I received a letter from Acura that said some 3rd Gen engines were built with the wrong piston rings and that mistake would have the engine burn oil like you do between oil changes. At that time their only offer was to extend the warranty. I would also speak to your mechanic if they have a recommendation about better oil additives (I would try Automotive Test Solutions products (atschemicalsolutions.com) ) that would clean the carbon build up off your piston rings to lubricate better and that may help with your oil consumption.
