Engine confusion... .

Sorry man, I disagree. I have been DILLIGENTLY (some say to the point of insanity) changing my oil every 3000 miles. I've been doing that since day one of ownership. Along with using Mobile-1 oil, and Mobile-1 oil filters exclusively, I have been changing the PCV valve every or every other time I change my oil. I have used about 4 different brands of PCV valve and NOTHING has changed with my oil burning. I burn about a quart, sometimes a little more, every 3000 miles. I've done numerous Sea Foam treatments as well, with NO CHANGE AT ALL to my oil consumption.

I'm kinda in the same floating thingy as Bart...even after deleting my pcv valve completely, & straight shooting crankcase gases, fumes, vapors, & what have you, into a catch can that's then vented into my air box, I still use about 1 qt+ every 2k.

The thing that amazes me is this, even though I put baffling ( stainless chore boy dish scrubbies) inside the catch can & the vents inside the airbox are uphill from both the catch can & the valve covers, there is still NEVER any accumulation in the catch can, just a bit of residual residue (like that one?) inside the air box...

I am on the same situation as yours larry,i got rid of the PCV and also got rid of the hose coming from the other valva cover,yet still have same oil burn
I guess that's what is all about we can do and must live with it.
