How many miles are on your 2002? I have 250,000 with no noticeable oil burning. I love how it rides, very comfortable and good in the snow. I'm hoping to hit the 300k club if I'm lucky.
I’ll buy it from you ! LOL ! That’s great to hear. Unfortunately that’s not the normal reputation I have personally heard from owners. But that’s very encouraging and I definitely believe that how a person treats and maintains their vehicle makes a huge difference. I hope you reach your goal and more ! Blessings !
PCV - Positive Crankcase Ventilation Replacement should be a relatively inexpensive try depending on who does the work. But blue smoke is usually an indication of a much larger problem. Two suggestions I have; 1) Pay the Honda dealer their “$75 per incident” and get their diagnosis. Even if the news is bad, at least you know. 2) Consider getting a compression test on your cylinders. But that may cost as much as the other. If you continue researching these old CRVs, you will probably find that this is a very common problem. As for the gas consumption, the old “All Track” versions are notorious for gas milage around 20mpg.
@@rich-nn9on While that is an option, they can also have negative affects. I suggest you get a professional diagnosis to determine the severity of the problem and doing further research before using additives. My car was not maintained well at all by the previous owner. What I did was changed my PCV valve and my air filter then changed my oil often. I actually changed the oil and oil filter as soon as it got dirty. So I probably changed my oil 5 or 6 times in two years. But I did it myself and used Walmart brand oil. My car still burns too much oil but it doesn’t smoke as much as it used to. I still change my oil when I notice it getting dirty but it doesn’t get dirty as often since the inside of the engine is much cleaner now.
Sorry to hear. This is one of the easy things to try. Unfortunately, these 2.4 engines have a bit of a reputation for burning oil. The best suggestion I have is to pay Honda for an inspection/assessment. They were recently charging $75 “per concern” but I found them to be very good at determining causes of issues. It may not be good news but at least you would know. Best of luck to you.
There’s no issues with these engines. It’s cheap A$$ lazy owners going 5000,7500 even 10,000 miles on oil changes. I got 3 of these engines and not one burns oil
In this case, changing the PCV valve did not show a noticeable change. It was one of the cheapest and easiest recommended parts to check or replace when investigating oil consumption. Some people are fortunate and it does solve their issue. For me, it was the first step in a longer process. My issue ended up being a combination of a few different oil leaks along with engine burning oil.

Dealing with the oil consumption right now. It’s every month now. The car hesitates at 3krpm. A/C is destroyed

I have a 2002 CRV, blue smoke in the exhaust, oil in the exhaust and a lot of gasoline consumption, could this valve be PVC?

@@cogiccowboy3168, what other way to resolve it
That’s the best suggestion I have after trying the PCV.
Determine the cause so you can most effectively address it.
