2006 Accord burning oil
 
I don't know if I am being screwed due to me being a girl!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 2006 Accord which I bought brand new. The past 4 oil changes my car has been a quart low when they change it, until the last time it was 2 1/2 quarts low. The Honda dealership tells me that it is common for this Honda to burn a quart of oil the first 1000 miles after every oil change. I personally have never heard of a car burning 1 quart of oil after a oil change per 1000 miles. My question is where does the oil go and why should a engine with 25,855 miles on it be burning oil? If anyone knows or has the same problem PLEASE ADVICE!!!!

it could be a head gasket or valve seal issue. it might even be slowly leaking oil. and welcome to the forums

There's no way the car should be burning a quart of oil per 1000 miles.
This is not 'common', nor is it 'normal', especially with a relativley new engine.
You either have a serious leak, or your engine needs some serious work.

welcome to the forum. If you now have 25k and no oil leaks from the engine, the piston oil rings have not broken in properly. Need to do a daily or weekly oil check asap. starting with a full oil level, date, time, milage and oil level. This needs to be done before you loose your 3 yr, or 36k miles. When you told your dealer of what the engine was doing, was it recorded. must record all incase you need to present this to American Honda for warranty.
