Had an oil change on my 2017 Honda CR-V with 59,000 miles on it. 3 weeks later the engine made a terrible noise and took it back to the maintenance shop. They added 2 quarts of oil and said I had an oil consumption problem. I think they messed up something during the oil change. What is your opin…

Possibly, however since they added two quarts of oil I know you are not checking you oil frequently enough. Sorry to be harsh, but you should never let oil get over a quart low.

Before the oil change how often did you check your oil? How often did you need to add a quart?

Agree with the others. How often did you check the engine oil prior to this recent oil change? Were there any other signs of low oil, or burning oil, or even leaking oil prior to the oil change? There’s very little an oil change can do to “make” you engine consume more oil. Either it wasn’t filled…

In addition to the other valid replies, I think it’s important to note that the vehicle has been driven–on average–less than 7,500 miles per year, and that suggests mostly local, short-trip driving. If the driving pattern has been mostly short-trip, local driving, I hope that the OP has been changi…

When you checked the oil level after the oil change, was it full at that time?

It is clear to me that the OP did not drive far in a three week time after the oil change. If the engine were bad before the oil change, then he probably went to the shop with very little oil in the engine, because clearly he wasn’t checking the oil for months. If the engine were good before the o…

So, OP was driving with no oil. And NO oil pressure light?

You should check to see if you have an oil leak around your valve cover. MC-10176984-0001.pdf you should also check if you have a leak around your timing chain cover MC-10142621-9999.pdf

Losing that much oil in 3 weeks isn’t normal. The shop may have underfilled it or something was left loose. I would get a second opinion and check if your CR-V has any known oil issues like the 1.5 turbo oil dilution problem.
