I'd be concerned with the catalytic converter dying before it's expected life (both of mine, last car & this) went around 140,000 miles before needing replacement.

Good luck!

Yea, a friend of mine that is a mechanic said burning this amount of oil with fairly low mileage expect to run into possible catalytic problems in and around 100k miles. Plus these Acura's have two or three of them!
