I generally change the oil every 4 months in our 2008 Honda CRV. This past oil change was at 60% olm with just over 5K miles. Been using Vavoline Maxlife full synthetic for awhile now. It’s burned almost a qrt of oil during that time. There’s no way I could go down to 15% with the amount of oil being burned.
Its been 80K or so since I changed the pcv last. I did take it out and it still rattles so gave it a shot of carb cleaner just for giggles.
Is there anything I do or should I go to 30W on my next change? Or are these engines notorious for burning oil? Granted it’s got 172K.
