So I have read most posts about PVC valve being rubbish. Had mine for over a year and every four days a quart of oil is used, intake manifold has excessive oil inside by PVC hose plus oil from front breather hose in front air filter to intake.
So been thinking hard over the year of how to stop the oil from reaching intake. Brought oil catch can and fitted to front hose just to see how much is coming from front, I didn't think there would be much and there wasn't, knew intake was sucking oil.
So how to fix rear hose/PCV valve letting oil passed? So I needed to figure out how, tried putting a foam filter in hose and that just gets covered in oil and let's it go pass.
Conclusion is extend the hose so oil has further to travel and route it so any oil will drain back to PCV valve. Brought two foot hose routed around EGR valve. Changed oil and filter. Set level so I could monitor, well that was Saturday and it is now Tuesday and about 150 miles and oil is full as set after the oil change. Will keep checking and keep updating forum.
