i just serviced my car done 2,000kms and oil was already empty... does anyone elses prelude vtec burn that much oil or is there sumthing really wrong with my engine?
If you have previously let your engine oil level drop below minimum, your engine will keep on consuming oil due to the wear on the oil control rings. Another cause of oil consumption is a weakened PCV valve spring which allows too much oil fumes to re-enter the combustion chamber and get burnt.Quote:

Is it hard to change the PCV vavle spring? and would it also cost alot to change? .. Thanks.
It's a simple "unclip hose, unscrew old valve, screw in new valve, reclip hose". However, if your PCV valve is located in an ackward location, then it can be more troublesome. But it's DIYable for sure.Quote:

Yeh ive tried FEO but ive notice it burnt quicker.. so now im using Fuchs GTO 10w40 .. Where can i buy these valve springs from? .. Thanks for your help :)
It's a 1-way valve that is held shut using a spring. It's not called a valve spring. Just get it from your dealer or your car parts supplier. They should be universal (at least across Jap cars) as I have fitted the PCV valve from a f22a Accord on to a Daihatsu Terios.Quote:
