Anyone else go through oil?

WEIRD....Greg--your current post count is 11,111.
Or do a catch can use the hoses...

I'm going through about a quart every 6k so I'm going to make my weekend project to do that. I can only imagine what the inside of my intake looks like

may or may not be true, but i read on one website that changing from full synthetic to synthetic blend will possibly cure an oil consumption problem. I'm going to try it in two of my familys vehicles next oil change.

As I recall, when I ran Mobile 1 synthetic... it would burn about 1 -2 quarts before next oil change... but I used redline last time and it was fine. royal purple got durty as phuck and I wont use it agian. I decided to stick with GTX.

i had so much crankcase pressure that it was blowing past the rear seal causing a leak. it only did it when i got on it though. i removed the pvc hose which wasnt letting enough of the pressue out and the leak went away.
i still need to get a filter or something put on it but its been fine running open for now.
the PVC system is a terrible way of dealing with unburnt gases. half burnt vapors running back up thru the intake makes it filthy and it gets all over the injectors also.

a catch can works well or like greg said just put a filter on it.
Oil Catch Can

its basically just an air compressor filter that you would use to trap the moisture in the line for spraying paints. you can get one at home depot or lowes usually.

Corvette PCV Oil Catch Can

[Chevy-Art]

blame your oil comsuption on your pcv system. ditch it and run 2 breathers and never worry again

Where do the two breathers go? Any pics?

[Beatdown Z]

I'm guessing one breather takes the place of the PCV valve and the other takes the place of the oil fill tube. Seems like the only two logical places to me.

[txarkitekt]

Each valve cover has a barb fitting with a hose leading to the intake manifold. Driver's side is back towards the firewall, and the pass side is up at the front.

Here is my setup
Pass side rear

Pass front

Pcv valve under bracket on driver side rear


The front of the intake and the rear of the pass side both t into a line that goes to the pcv valve. Do these lines go away? Then a filter goes on the fitting at the rear of pass side and one takes the place of the pcv valve and then cap off the intake? Then I remove the line that goes to the tb and another filter goes on the fitting at the front of pass side and then cap off the tb? Does this sound right or is there more to it?

[txarkitekt]

You could put a filter after the "T" in the line before it goes into the top of the intake...and then cap off the TB. Or just get a Catch Can and not deal with having filters everywhere and dealing with securely capping off lines and plugging up holes...
