Why is my RPM going up when my odometer is reading low?
I've noticed that my RPM goes up to 2 and above when my odometer is between 20 - 40kmph. I've changed the spark plugs & service regularly. The pick up is bad especially after I stop.
It does eat into my oil consumption. CRV model is known for having a slow acceleration however over the last 1.5 years, I've noticed that the pick up is really getting bad. The RPM will reach up to 2 and above when I accelerate and sometimes go up to 3 and my odometer has not even reached 80kpmh. Previously, my RPM maintains less than 2 even when I accelerate to 100kpmh.
I've changed the transmission oil 3 years ago and the spark plugs last year.
It does eat into my oil consumption and I'm worried this issue will need me to fork out for a much bigger repair.
I've talked to the Honda dealer about this and they advised that I changed the spark plugs. That did not solve the issue I'm afraid. I'm not sure what could be the problem and I'd like to get your advice before I see other mechanics, just so that I know that I'm not being told that I need to change a whole lot of other parts when it is only a small part.
Thank you!

Is it shutting off while driving? Accelerating poorly? Otherwise running rough?

@doctorkennyg It is accelerating poorly. My car is auto, and whenever it changes gear i.e 1->2, 2->3, the RPM reading will jump up above 2. Previously it was between 1.5 to 1.8, never going above 2 even if I accelerate.
I don't drive fast. Max I go is up to 140kmph on the highway and that is super rare. I average around 70kpmh.
Could it be a transmission issue?

What is the year model of the vehicle?
It seems as though the transmission is not changing up through the gears as quickly as it should to suit the speed
Get the OBDII port scanned for any error codes.
If there are any they will tell what what the problem is with the engine.
FYI the odometer gives the total distance (miles or kilometres) traveled by the vehicle. The speedometer tells you how fast you're going. ;-)

@jayeff It is a Honda CRV 2010 model. Thank you for correcting me on that 😅

@Maureen Fletcher
With regards to the oil consumption, are there any fresh oil stains on the ground under the car where it is parked, obvious oil stains or leaks on the engine or sooty deposits around the exhaust pipe on the car body at the rear of the vehicle?
Have you ever noticed blue smoke coming out of the exhaust when looking in the rearview mirror?
