P3497 on HONDA ODYSSEY

"Check engine light on, error code p3497. engine burns more oil than normal. honda issued service bulletin 11-033, yet refuse to fix the car at their expense. i get the usual run around of "add more oil every now and again."

"Check engine light came on. dtcs p3400 and p3497 read. no oil on the dipstick. took it to sussman honda where they stated that the fix is to replace the rear rocker. i pointed them to tsb 11-033 but they said it didn't apply to my car. called american honda co. and they said the same thing."

"Early 2011 after having some recall repairs done in the past like the brakes, leaking from the moon roof and the power steering problems, started noticing the engine light coming out for 1-2 days and then the oil light, checked oil level and refill was done but didn't notice any leaking."

"Engine is burning excessive amounts of oil resulting in a p3497 obd ii fault code. low oil pressure light does not turn on, even though the engine burned over 2 quarts of oil. became aware of issue when check engine light turned on. added 2 quarts of oil, then obtained an oil change the next day."

"Variable cylinder management switches on and off and causes excessive oil consumption. oil light comes on and codes p3400 and p3497 show on the reader."
