Jeep Burning Oil ? Let's Change That Blown PCV

Jeep Wrangler with a 3.6 burning oil ? You may have a blown out PCV valve. I changed the pcv on my brothers 2013 JK and it was full of oil

I just replaced this over the weekend on my JK. Man I burned myself, cut myself but changed it no sweat just pick up a flex head mini 1/4” driver kit. No more burning oil. Doing my water pump soon. Thanks I have a 14 JK non rubicon. I had to push the hose up from the bottom too. It’s barbed. It just got tighter the harder i pulled. Removed the cam sensor wiring. ❤

@@gunztommiegunz That's not a fun one.

Great video. Thank you so much for making this one, and others.

[@HotRodDave]

Thank you for watching and the nice comment. I really appreciate it .

Thanks you very much Dave, outstanding video showing the reality of this process. I need to change this valve in my wife 2012 wrangler with 65K miles. Personally I thing it probably needs to be changed every 50K miles. I am also in GA and will try do do it before the summer. Liked and subscribed!

Thank you !

Thank you for the video. This fixed my issue.

I believe this may help me (2011 Wrangler/80k miles). I know I have been burning oil for at least 2 years. I just went to Goodyear to get topped off (assuming I was low) and they told me I was 4 quarts low and it had only been 2k miles since the last oil change. He recommended replacing the filter and changing the oil rather than topping off. This sounds like a lot of oil! What are the odds this will help me and what do you think it's going to cost to ask for a replacement (including part cost)? Thanks for your video!

[@HotRodDave]

This may help but what I think is going on with these 3.6 engines is piston rings wear more than anything. That causes excessive oil blow by and that gets burned. I have done a few repairs on the 3.6 and all have had oil consumption and the ones I have had the I take manifold off were full of oil.

[@-thornie6285]

Did changing the pcv value stop oil consumption issues? I have a 2012 wrangler with 95k and I’m now getting around 1,000 mile per quart.

[@HotRodDave]

Not totally no

Hi rod! I was with the engine light on. Computer said catalytic converter. I still going with the light on. Later the engine no was going to more of 3000 RPM. I did change catalytics. Engine still not going at more of 3000 rpm. When I Check the oil was empty. I add 5 quarts. I can’t believe the engine was working. My question is… I did change oil 5k miles ago. You think he spent 5 quarts in 5k miles? Or I’m thinking the workshop was wrong with the last oil change. Pentastar v6 97k miles. Is not leaking oil in any place.

[@HotRodDave]

I have seen them burn oil and that can cause catalytic failure from the oil getting in the catalytic converter.

[@abdiasmeralescalleja9526]

I have the same issue. How do you fix it?

[@HotRodDave]

It can burn that much oil if it has worn the piston rings out for sure. That oil burning will take out the catalytic converter because it's job is to filter the exhaust contamination.

[@goyitosproductions]

@@abdiasmeralescalleja9526 I don’t know! I was at the dealer and they connect at computer and fixed.

[@JimmyDevere]

Can you relocate the PCV valve to make it easier to swap?

[@HotRodDave]

Not that I know of on that engine

[@user-jb8kc5bx8t]

Tons of videos on how to replace it, not a single one on how to test it. My old one looks good but blows both ways. Bought a new one - same thing 😮 Is it a bug or a feature? As I understand it should blow only outwards, shouldn't it?

[@HotRodDave]

I think it will move air both ways but one way less than the other. They all work a little different depending on the engine style. I don't think it works like a check valve.
