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.

In your case, check your oil level weekly.

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.

BTW, what oil do you use? FEO?

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.
