The PCV valve is typically open and its job is to vent crank case pressure from blow by. The vacuum hose is routed to the intake manifold so that the crankcase vapors are burnt through the combustion process. The Vacuum being provided by the intake manifold does not close the PCV valve it actually keeps it open in order to keep pulling those crank case vapors. The check valve located in the PCV valve assures that flow is allowed in one direction and prevents it from going back the other direction. Although what you said is correct about these valves eventually getting covered in sludge, the sludge actually restricts flow and results in excess crank pressure which forces oil out of places you don’t oil to go.

I was happy to see one of your videos pop up as a notification. I wasn't good about changing my PCV valve on my first engine. I'm going to be more deliberate about changing these on my new engine as well as sticking to around 7,500 mile oil change intervals.

Thanks Justin, the V6s don't seem to have the issue as often as the 4 cylinder cars, Honda really should've made PCV valve a 30K maintenance item because the car drinks oil like mad even on a perfect engine like mine when it goes bad, Keep doing what you're doing, I've even got my car decked out with Weathertechs and Falken Ziex on the wheels so I can get like you because it clearly works.

@@ubuntulinuxrules I've also seen people on DA talk about doing piston soaks with Marvel Mystery Oil to help the oil burning situation. I've enjoyed sharing what I've used and how long things have lasted. I always enjoy reading your comments and appreciate you watching my videos.

Keep the great content coming, and cleaning up the rings is definitely the best way to reduce consumption, I think what's kept the engine so nice in the 6 years since my grandmother gifted me this car, is the short 3000 mile intervals with synthetic oil, that might sound excessive, but strong additive packs and detergents that never get a chance to break down will clean engine so well, that it may develop an oil leak if you've got crusty seals like I did.
