J37 is a known oil burner. It’s a beautiful power train but unfortunately will burn oil like a mf. 1 qt per 1k miles. Running it too low will cause camshaft issues is the long run. Luckily j35 uses a different piston seal set so it’s unaffected.

The Honda J series and Toyota 2GR-FE are arguably the most reliable V6 engines ever made. I consider both equally as good both with their pros and cons. Both will last forever with regular maintenance and proper care.
the j series auto engines has problems because of the VCM system that honda used. it caused spark plug and piston ring issues, my parents have an odyssey that had to have the engine serviced for that issue as well as the well known 6 speed auto jerky shifting issues causing it to need to be reprogrammed and fluid change. that only lessened the issue just enough for it to be comfortable. manual should be bulletproof tho aside from 3rd gear engagement issues, the engines for the manuals do not have VCM and should have extremely good reliability with a 400k mile lifespan
Hey you did not do it in sport mode can we redo it and I will follow for sure in this one but it was just in drive I want to see if it will do anything different.
I will have to try and sport mode the automatic transmission in these cars seem to perform better when it's cooler outside 91° out today it shifts hard and minor delays probably due to the transmission fluid needing changed I'm a little behind on that
I feel comfortable with a high 5 or 6....depends on the temperature out that day also....4 gen Transmission perform better when not super hot...they never resolved the torque converter issues
yeahhh that auto still has those wacky shifts... sounded like it stumbled for a millisecond on that first to second shift, all of their autos from that generation are like this and tend to not last very long. its an amazing engine though and with a manual, is one of the best all-around cars you can get imo
I had the oil consumption problem in the beginning , the rings on the Pistons are very sensitive in this engine they carbon up and cause Blow by, this is mostly because people do not choose not to run premium gas and causes the engine to Ping and knock carbon deposits
I average 17 in my 2010 RL but if I actually try I can get 30 instant mpg... but these cars just sound to good taking off. So Im always flooring it just to hear my exhaust and the engine
You can take it to 5th gear in sport mode to 100 mph...6th gear on top end you will see acceleration ease up....almost a 4800 lbs car it's performs well, looking for a affordable rocket go with Infiniti

And most of the time, most vehicles equipped with those systems from 2013-17 have issues with the mechanical brake actuator which prevents any reprogramming of those systems. Just a headache. They still use rubber timing belts and still have to have the valves manually adjusted and still have AC compressor issues. The list goes on and on.
