Why does my Honda burn so much oil?
When the VCM system engages sporadically, it can cause piston rings blow-by, spark plugs fouling and additional oil consumption. On 4-cylinder vehicles, the oil control rings can stick instead of expanding to the cylinder walls, allowing oil to flow past and burn excessively.

Why is my Honda Accord leaking oil under the hood?
Not all leaks are visible under your car, so you should also check under the hood. A clogged PCV valve may not only cause the oil to leak, but it can also cause a variety of other problems from blue exhaust smoke to loss of power. It’s a simple fix to do yourself, and the part costs between $20 to $30. Locate the PCV valve.

Why is my Honda Accord 4 cylinder leaking oil?
The factory piston rings get sludged up and leak oil past as miles accumulate. After a soak and doing this, it frees them up and lets them get back to work. Glad it worked for you, I never knew about the ACDelco stuff!
