03 Honda CR-V loses oil like crazy!

For what it's worth at this point... My cousin thinks the 2nd video looks correct (as in same underhood situation). After I figure out what year this CR-V really is, and buy the correct PCV hose, then we'll try again.

It does at least appear that I bought the correct PCV valve.

We put in 5w20 Maxlife Blend at oil change 2 months ago. It was losing 5w20 rapidly (1 qt every 300 miles). We've been adding 5w30 Maxlife Blend as needed. The oil consumption has slowed. It's now a more liveable situation. I attribute that to 5w30.

PCV & hose replacement is still in its future. I think it will give some more improvement.

Next summer, we'll change oil to 5w30 VRP.

If it ain't broke don't fix it? After all these conversations I'll probably order a hose for my daughters. It's not collapsed, at least not on the outside. Opposite, hers is like petrified and not the frightened/terrified meaning. The hose is like ROCK solid, can't squeeze it with fingers.

It might be original, 17 years and 243k?

Careful when removing the PCV not to drop the washer

If it’s 2003+ and an k24, the engine is known for stuck rings. I had one that no matter what I did, I couldn’t get the oil burning to slow down. I tried multiple piston soaks and BG EPR treatment as well. Keep it topped off with any oil, it’ll burn it all.

That sucks.......
