why is my Honda Pilot YF3 (2016-2022) consuming too much oil

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical issues.

2. Inspect and Replace PCV Valve

• Tools Required: Socket set, pliers, replacement PCV valve.
• Remove the engine cover if applicable.
• Locate the PCV valve and disconnect the hose.
• Inspect the PCV valve for blockages; replace if necessary.
• Reconnect the hose and engine cover.

3. Address Oil Leaks

• Tools Required: Socket set, wrench, oil catch pan, replacement gaskets/seals.
• Identify and replace any faulty gaskets or seals that may be leaking oil.
• Clean the area around the leak to ensure no further oil escapes.
• Refill the engine oil to the proper level.

4. Perform Engine Repairs (if necessary)

• Tools Required: Compression tester, leak-down tester, socket set.
• If the compression or leak-down tests reveal issues, consider repairing or replacing worn piston rings or valve seals.
• Follow manufacturer specifications for torque values and assembly procedures during repairs.
