The VCM only is on the v6 and it operates on 3-4 or 6 cyl depending on the needs determined by the computer ( DAMN COMPUTERS)
Honda is a pretty good car and they don't have to many of those miss-aligned piston rings, it's rare but not unheard of. I've never experienced it myself but anything is possible.
The computer update wouldn't solve a oil consumption issue but Honda comes out with them for different reasons and the dealer probably did that because it was in the shop and there was a TSB that covered this car.
As far as your car.....don't put anything other than 0-20 oil or else you will have problems.

Looks like you need to join the Honda Insight Forum.

The site admin is a nice guy and goes by the handle - JackiSoulPatch.

You can also count on asking advice of longtime posters there - Cornn, MustangRocket, TurboGH, Car Fanatic, and BillWhat


hmmmm
Even the annoying frenchman on that board can offer some useful insights. I think he goes by Voiture_Noire and then, there's his buddy Rocky...or maybe it was Buzz?...

Yeah, I am aware of that website and know the modulator Cobb pretty good. Hes the one that told me about this issue and wanted more research.

Looks like the best solution is to trade your oil burning insight for a 15 year old geo. :cheers
