Tell them you're never coming back there for an oil change again. Never mind buying a Honda ever again

So i went back to the dealership today for the oil consumption test. It has been 1,400 km since my first visit and i was told to come back around 1,500. Car consumed 1 liter of oil, but what was strange was the fact that the first 1000km it didn't use much, most of the oil disappeared in the last 4-500km. I've noticed with this car that the older the oil the quicker it goes. (when it was colder 1Liter/1000km was the norm.)
Anyways the fine gentleman at honda came to the conclusion that 700ml was consumed. No measuring of any type, just looked at the dipstick. Can't argue with him, he's been a "service advisor" for years and he knows what he's talking about. He told me to come back in another 1,000 km and said not to add oil. When i asked him if he expects me to run the car with 1 liter already missing and another that will shortly disappear he replied yes, that's how honda wants it done.
I told him that i'm not running a car with 2 liters of oil missing and he said that honda said not to add oil unless a liter was consumed. How this makes sense is beyond me. I told our friendly glorified cashier to add the oil and mark it down, since there's no way i'm running my engine like that for another 1,000 km. He did so but told me that the results will be skewed as a result. When i asked him how so i quickly realized that this man was border line retarded after his explanation. I took my paper and have another date in 1,000km.
Go to the source. Use words like 'Twitter', 'Facebook' and 'Social Media' to voice your concerns about your treatment.
Let us know what happens next.
If you read the first post in this thread you'll see my experience with honda canada. They are useless from the top, which is a disappointment being a lifelong honda customer. Money trumps all, and not to sound like a drama queen but the way they've treated me from the start they will lose a customer for ever. Next vehicle i get will not be a honda...

Yeah, I meant since then, sorry.(not sure how many times you've reached out to them).
I think they'll try and string you along until your warranty expires then they'll leave you to the wolves.

Can you still trade it in for a Rav4 or something an get your value out of it? If so, dump it. People like Sunny line up for used Hondas.
Im gonna play along with their stupid oil consumption test and see what happens when its finished. If they fix it great, if not it will be traded in for a highlander or rav4. I told my wife lets just get rid of it and get a newer corolla, but she said that she doesn't wanna drive a go kart lol
