how to prevent oil consumption in Honda Civic 10th Generation (2016-2021)

Solution

1. Regular Maintenance

• Change Engine Oil: Use high-quality synthetic oil recommended by Honda (0W-20 viscosity). Change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
• Replace Oil Filter: Use OEM or high-quality filters to ensure proper filtration.

2. Inspect and Replace Worn Components

• PCV Valve Replacement:
  • Locate the PCV valve (usually on the valve cover).
  • Disconnect the hose and remove the valve.
  • Replace with a new valve and reconnect the hose.

3. Monitor Engine Performance

• Conduct Regular Checks:
  • Use an OBD-II scanner to check for engine codes that may indicate underlying issues.
  • Pay attention to engine noises and performance to catch issues early.

4. Use Engine Oil Additives

• Oil Additives:
  • Consider using oil additives designed to reduce oil consumption which may help improve viscosity and seal worn components.
