I've spoken to the dealership and Honda Australia.

Honda Australia were a complete joke. They just denied any argument I made and stated repeatedly that it is "within specification". Wouldn't tell me where it would have to be to be outside specification (trade secret). When I mentioned that few other Euro owners have this problem (and those that do complain) this was basically dismissed as being meaningless.

So essentially you make a complaint and to respond to the complaint they just repeat what you are complaining about and say it is fine.

I also pointed out that consumer law isn't about what the manufacturer deems to be okay, but what would affect the purchasing decision of said consumer. I know I wouldn't have bought the car had I known about this.

Also, apparently within specification means the car is fine. Not just fine within the warranty period (which it probably is). So I asked if they would extend the warranty for me, since the car is apparently fine and therefore this wouldn't cost them anything. They refused.

Even my concern that commuting in the car will increase oil consumption was met with basic derision. My driving is pretty tame at the moment (a lot of freeway and highway driving), but this is likely to change just outside the warranty period.

Oh and the funniest was that the low oil pressure light is apparently a "drive somewhere to top up the oil" light. And not "oh shit my engine will die if I don't stop right now" light.

Oh and the Acura TSX isn't at all comparable because it is built with different specifications in the US (not sure how true this is).
