My 2004 Honda Accord LX Coupe 4 cylinder engine is using 3 1/2 qts of oil
between 4-5 k oil change intervals.  It is not leaking anywhere, nor is
there any smoke, white or blue coming from the tail pipe.  When you lift the
oil filler cap, the air pressure pulses are normal at idle when compared to
a new Accord.  There is no oil in the antifreeze.  It runs great.  The
dealer is stumped and wants to remove the head to look at the top of the
pistons ($800!).  It's off warranty.  Anyone had any similar problems with a
Honda or Toyota.  It has only 80 thousand miles on it.  Where the Hell is
the oil going?
