I got the car used with 49k on it in November '20. PCV changed June '21 as I was burning a bit of oil, not sure exact qty. I'm now at almost 114k and 3.5 years later. I just added some oil 1/2qt to keep it topped off. That makes it 1 full qt in 2700 miles since last change. All acceptable by manufacturers standards but I don't like it. I also attribute to driving style and this being a 6MT that gets revved out accordingly.
I see some light weeping from valve cover gasket also but a bit more on passengers front corner. I'll probably tackle that one of these months when it warms up a bit. At the same time I'm figuring the valves need to be checked/adjusted but I've never done that, looks easy enough just need a new tool and some new feeler gauges.
I watched a couple videos and same comments on line. This thing doesn't "rattle/shake" like all the ones I've done prior on other cars. Up/down it is barely audible, side to side you hear a lot more. I recall first time I changed it that it was the same and the one that came out. I bought this from Amazon (could be fake) but has all the Honda part#'s on bag and part. This is the part I bought and seller. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KTL3MJG?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0 . I might need to go to Honda and get right from parts dept. At least I'll have for next time.
Is there anyway to test this? If I try blowing and sucking through the different parts, there is a little resistance one way but still flow, other way totally free flow. The metal ones I've tried in past pretty much shut fully if you went against the plunger/spring.
