Dude..... posts minutes apart cmon now.

Change plugs, clean/swap out pcv valve, top off oil and just drive the damned truck.

 

Three out of four look good, and there is no evidence that any oil is leaking...

 

I would also agree with PCV Valve as the most likely culprit. I haven't read through all 11 pages of this discussion but that is my initial thoughts on it.

 

For those recommended a PCV valve changeout…if this is causing excessive oil consumption, does it present with symptoms other than the consumption? I.e., burnt oil smell, leaking oil from the valve/hose assembly, etc? Or does the oil consumption occur past the valve?

 

Here's the PCV valve, I think...

 

I have a 2008 Scion XB I believe the engine is common between it, your truck, and a Camry. There was a program going on a couple of years ago concerning oil consumption in these engines. They’d do a test and if you failed they replaced all the pistons and rings I believe the oil ring was the culprit but they replace all of it. May be worth looking into if that’s the problem hopefully they’d honor the program.

 

It is possible to a plug-well o-ring or 2 that is compromised....causing a bit of oil to get into the combustion chambers

 

Certainly couldn't hurt. An OEM is only $10 or so and 5 minutes work

 

Its on the back of the valve cover under that big wire loom

 

Seriously!

1. Stop posting like a maniac
2. Check oil level every Friday
3. Top that shit off if needed
4. Drive the truck

 

What do you care how much he posts? You can just unwatch it not a big deal.

 

This has been suggested numerous times

 

We were thinking #4 was cross threaded due to the difficulty in getting it out, but that didn't end up being the case...

 

Should be sticking out of the back of the cover right about here. Just move the wire loom and you should see it.
