Her Accord with only 80K on it now burns oil to the point where the last time it went in for an oil change only a couple of quarts drained out. Her response? "But the oil life meter said I still had 30% oil life!"
Meanwhile our other 5 Hondas don't use a drop of oil. They're religiously changed every 5K miles.
Change your oil at least every 5K miles. Cheap, easy, and worth it.
The GMC's get changed about every 2500-3K. They're mostly driven around town though.

Your 5 other hondas got lucky, it's very common for hondas to burn oil. They are reliable little oil burners.
To the OP, they werent availible on trucks until 99.
The first car to have the system in 88 was the corvette. My 90 has it, but its gets changed every 2 years(about 800 miles).
