Hi new owner of a 2016 I4 EX-L CVT 44k miles looking for designation and specs/features of the engine. I know it is direct injection, think it is VTEC, but curious for more facts. Also what are the oil burning characteristics of this motor 2016 and later? Read the forums back to 2016 with out clear answers but certainly built confidence in the car. Thanks!

These are probably the most detailed specs you're going to get: https://owners.honda.com/vehicles/information/2016/Accord-Sedan/specs

Not sure what you mean by oil burning characteristics other than the personal experiences of individual owners. Personally, I have 36k and I just checked the oil at 30% remaining oil life (about 6k miles) and the oil level is identical to it's level the day it was changed.

Thanks for the useful link, and oil experience. I was able to find the motor designation as K24W from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_K_engine

And from there this interesting engineering article:
