It has 113,000 miles; never had a problem before(knock wood). I change the oil every 3000 miles but the last two times it seems that the oil is burning quicker than it should. For example, I need to add oil at about 2200-2500 miles...has anyone seen this before? I checked the oil today after the lights went on and I am very very low on oil; its been about 2000 miles since the last change. I am going to add a couple quarts til I can get it to the shop tomorrow and am hoping that the low oil is the reason the lights are on and that I haven't screwed myself....any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!

A buddy of mine works for a Honda dealer in here locally in Augusta Ga and he told me most all newer models no matter what the check engine light comes on for bogus reasons....like tires being rotated and stupid shit that like. "I know like clock work all Honda's (that I have owned) pop the engine light at 100K miles every time for some reason. Its kinda like a gimmick to get your car serviced at the dealer". DON'T quote me on that its word of mouf.

don't listen to that. it's OBDII (On Board Diagnostic II) and the computer is throwing a code to tell you that something is wrong. go to the dealer or even autozone and have them read the code for you to find out what's wrong. DON'T get the check engine light confused with the "maintenance required light". and even if the CEL comes on at 100k, that's good. 100k is the most important service your car will ever see. if you don't get your car a major service at 100k you're retarded and you deserve to be left stranded on the side of the road.
