How does engine wear and high mileage contribute to excessive oil consumption in a Honda City?

Older Honda City models with high mileage may start consuming more oil due to worn-out piston rings o r cylinder walls. At what mileage should owners start checking for oil consumption issues, and what preventive maintenance can help reduce the problem?

As a Honda City accumulates more mileage, typically beyond 150,000 kilometers, the engine starts to show signs of wear, particularly in the piston rings and cylinder walls. Worn piston rings allow oil to enter the combustion chamber, where it gets burned off during the combustion process. This leads to excessive oil consumption. Owners of older models should be vigilant about oil consumption as the vehicle ages. Regular oil changes and using the recommended oil grade can help reduce the wear and tear, but it’s often inevitable that high-mileage vehicles will start consuming more oil as they age.
