I’ve had the same problem on my last car. The dip stick is for the top quart. Cause of mine was it was burning oil.

Add oil 1 qt at a time to determine how much is gone. If the light came on odds are the pan is dry. I can only leak it or burn it.

Is there any oil in the water?

Didn't even consider the volume of oil the dipstick accounted for. I've literally never pulled a dry dipstick before.

Heyoooo

Get oil changed, and the filter. Filter may be clogged and obstructing flow.

just light a fire underneath the engine area, it will expose any leaks or extra oil and unfreeze your engine

She's been rolling back the odometer, hiding her true driving, but forgetting about the oil.

Why, you ask? Jody, of course.

There either has to be a leak or its burning oil.
Can't be anything else.
You need to check cylinder compression stat.

Your wife drives this? How can it run out of oil; its 2 cycle. And where the kids sit?

My parents drive a Honda Pilot. It's a known issue that they use oil. They add around a half a quart of oil to it every month.

See this: Honda's Excessive Oil Consumption Problems

The settlement covers the following vehicles equipped with six-cylinder engines (U.S. models only):

2008-12 Accord
2008-13 Odyssey
2009-13 Pilot
2010-11 Accord Crosstour
2012 Crosstour

Honda engines will do this, everyone I’ve had would blow it out, especially the Vtec engines

That many miles the rings are likely getting worn and it's burning oil. My old 08 z71 started using a quart a week when it hit about 190k. It showed no signs of oil burning either. I think newer vehicles emission standards filter it out

I believe Napoleon nailed it. Somebody mentioned a head gasket. Usually with a blown head gasket you also have a heat problem.

You could also use a heavier weight oil or add some Lucas to it to try to squeeze some more life out of the rings and keep oil from seeping into the combustion chambers

Good point. I hope he didn't have just water in there with no antifreeze with this cold weather. Cracked block all day

It may be the piston rings. Call Honda and see if there's a warranty extension.
