Default Honda is trying to own me!!!!

My car has very low compression such as 115-170 4 being the highest at 170 and 1-2-3 being 115-125 and im like something is wrong so I take it to the dealership and I do have a full 100Gs warranty on it and im like somethings wrong . Oh before this I checked my oil and the dipstick was bearly touching the oil. So I change my oil and when I take it to the dealer they change the oil so they could do a oil consumption test. So 500 Miles pass and I check my oil and and its not even touching the second hole , its almost toching the first hole im like lets go to the dealer. So I went to the dealer yesterday and I went to my service guy and he said well check it. So I wait a while and watch the lakers lose and so I wait and they call my name. I talk to the service guy and he says that its normal to waste that much oil in 500 Miles im like what the f***(no I did not say it) im like I have a civic that has 185.000 Miles on it and it dosent even waste oil. So there like this is a high performance engine im like then how come it did not waste oil the first 25Gs-45Gs. And there like just bring it back in exactly five hundred miles. Im like could you do a compression test there like , theres no time right now. So im like ill come in the morning and there like just bring it back in 500 miles. So Im pist because they dont want to do nothing , there saying wasting a quart in 500 miles is normal. What do yall think

Run the engine HARD for those 500 miles. If she runs out of oil and fried up, they owe you another engine

Might as well, fry the clutch while your at it to get another one if they want to dick around like that.

You know what I was thinking. I seen when they repaired my car and I seen them right down the number of Pnds. of torque on the screw to drain the oil so im thinking. Damn I dont have a torque wrench so thats out of the question. So im thinking why dont I get a long straw and suck the oil out the dipstick hole(while the car is cold) and let it barely touch the dipsticka and take it to honda and say WTF. I know it sounds like a crazy idea but its worth a try.

yea, honda dealers are real shitty when you want to do something thats covered under warranty. i have the 5 year extended warranty plan which covers almost all the parts, but when i bring in my car, they charge you to check to see if its covered under the warranty plan. so im like wtf, shoulda never bought the extended warranty, it was my uncle who bought the plan though, what a waste of money.

Just make sure you document every visit so you have proof of everything they said when you took it in there.

they dick around with you?- then dick around with them. Run it hard, don't check the oil and redline it daily. They owe you. They're just hoping you last through the warranty without any problems.
