Burning Oil PCV Valve 1998 -2001 Accord Coupe 3.0 V6

[hughezee]

I suspected I had been living with minor oil leak for a while and recently added an oil additive to help rejuvenate the seals a little 

 

Well it worked and so well oil started to come out of the dipstick tube   just noticed a little misting. Anyway first thought was the PCV valve and did the basic check vacuum check and it held on to my finger pretty well. Although this test doesn't really rule out PCV as not to be the problem   its a one way valve and using a 8mm hose and primer bulb it failed miserably  so replaced it with UK 6th Gen Valve they are crossed reffed to be compatible (V6) P/N: 7130PR7A01, (1.8/2.0/2.3 Engines) 17130PV3013, 17130PY3L01 and once replaced the engine is even less audible than before which was a shock, although an oil catch can did cross my mind  8-)

item 1

Little smidgin of copper grease to swell up the seal if you don't have new one

Cleaned hose end to end before refitting, the earlier J series tube is terminated nearer the throttle body so it's easier to inspect.

Additionally a faulty PCV valve can contribute to oil consumption couple of pic's to illustrate

 

 

Quick clean
