hey harry! AWESOME oil report! Yup that's exactly how it went for my 96 Civic after the fuel injectors were replaced! Fuel dilution got less and less til there was nothing to report.. Glad to hear the good news! Feels good!

 

[harry j]

researcher, totally agree!

Did your oil consumption go down?

 

[researcher]

hey harry.. When I had the fuel dilution because of the faulty fuel injectors. I never had any oil consumption during that time. I know on my Scion tc that the PCV valve can affect that, have you replaced that or checked it? I know on my civic it's buried on the backside of the engine.

 

[harry j]

I replace the PCV valve regularly, I guess the engine is pretty worn with close to 600,000 miles on it.

You plan to keep running it, till she quits or rebuild soon as a preventive measure?
I’ve been following your posts for a while now but forgot what your goals are for this turd...? Gonna take it to a million??

 

[harry j]

Artem, The Civic is running so good that I have not even thought about a rebuild.

I would like to see at least 600,000 miles on the clock (594,000 now)

A million miles! no way!

What oil filters/PN are you using? Would you consider using any other oils?

The Amsoil oil filter part number is Ea15k20. There is a Ea15k13 filter that will fit too, but it is smaller.
