    2015 Honda CRV EarthDreams 2.4 Intake Valve cleaning

    I have posted this question not because of OCD, not that person. Just recently replaced a PCV valve which was stuck open (for a long time, I believe) and this car drinks oil like a camel before crossing a desert. So I just can imagine how valves look like now.

    2015 Honda CRV EarthDreams 2.4 Intake Valve cleaning

    Our local Honda dealership does BG Fuel Induction GDI intake service. Just called them and was told that that this service cleans intake valves as well (from which side?). Probably they use BG Platinum Air Intake, Valve & Combustion Chamber Cleaner PN 261. BG Platinum 44K Fuel System Cleaner is...

    2015 Honda CRV EarthDreams 2.4 Intake Valve cleaning

    60,000 miles Top tier gas only. Do I need to clean valves on this particular GDI (K24W)? I have read some posts which state that Honda designed this engine to prevent a carbon buildup on the intake valves ("...allow gas to get up around the seal occasionally and clean it...") . I am not so sure...

    That chart with ambient temperature and viscosity is an absolutely confusing chart. According to this source : " ... An engine oil's operating temperature does not change significantly even in different ambient temperatures, so the recommended viscosity is quite consistent for various...

    After 500 miles I have 0 oil loss. Maybe it is too soon to make a conclusion , but it looks like a new PCV valve helped with my problem. Is there any recommendations on changing a PCV valve, by mileage or by symptoms only? Is it possible that folks who used some strong detergents and stated that...

    It looks like Honda provides different Owners manual for Europe and North America. They do not mention any green Honda oil or different viscosity in the local manuals. Only 0W-20. This link provides specs for European CR-V models, the engine in the US and Canada models: Earth Dreams Technology...

    If Pat is too old for you, what about this guy? He mentions a thicker oil as well. I am not going to argue with you 'cause not as knowledgeable as you guys. But just want to ask you a question, on what base are you giving your advice to go thicker? I have asked my initial question about a...

    2015 Honda CR-V AWD excessive oil cunsumption

    After reading all posts, here is my plan: 1. Blackstone oil analysis 2. Check if a PVC valve change helped (need some more mileage) 3. If I am still there with the oil burn, will add some safe (?) additive (not engine flush) to the existing oil 4. Check if it helped 5. At MM ~6000 miles ( 4000...

    2015 Honda CR-V AWD excessive oil cunsumption

    They do it by changing oil at the dealership, in 1000 miles they will check an oil level and if it is exceeds their "normal" consumption (which is 1 qt/1000 miles) they will add some unknown additive and will charge you $170 for that.

    Yes, this is a DI engine. The fuel dilution issues with Honda engines, AFAIK, started with 2017 CR-V models with new engines. I have ordered a Blackstone oil analysis kit.

    2015 Honda CR-V AWD excessive oil cunsumption

    Who can tell me that this is the reason? It sounds very depressing and frightening. Is this because a PCV valve was open? Should I give up and live with it or do something that can probably help? That is why I was asking about Honda PCV valve design. Their Earthdream engines on CR-V were used...

    I am just trying to figure out which advice of many is the right for my situation. A Valvoline tech just told me that High Mileage is the right oil for my problem.

    2015 Honda CR-V AWD excessive oil cunsumption

    Maybe your are right. But my point is that high quality High Mileage oils contain extra detergents to help fight sludge and deposits from forming. I am not an expert, again, but it looks like it just adds to the regular oil what is already there in the HM oils. Correct me if I am wrong.
