🤣 I swear, the glycol has to be in the manufacturing of the hose. Where else would it come from? I don’t have a consumption problem, according to my last engine oil analysis…🤷🏼 I told the lab tech guy I want to see if there’s fuel vapour or water in this test.

Lab results are in! (Love getting results the same day!) 3000 kms on the oil. My initial take is that the high silicon, sodium and trace glycol is from the contamination in the manufacturing of the hose. I bought new hose. No fuel dilution.

Sure glad I looked at the catch can this morning 😬. The view window it had, broke! Not sure if the plastic window broke from the pressure or heat or both. I ordered another one without the window but has a dip stick. I dumped out the oil that was in it and just dropped it off at the lab. I’ll...

Well, maybe not flat like flat flat. A couple times a day I drive one piece of freeway that maybe has an incline of 6%.

There’s been no excessive uphill incline while off-roading. It’s always been very flat where I live and mostly forestry road and highway driving.

Would this work?

For me, I’m happier knowing I’m not burning this oil and fouling plugs, sensors and the catalytic converters.

I think for experimental, learning, data points, prove or disprove learned reasoning or speculation ….and for shits and giggles, I’ll have the oil in the catch can analyzed. It only takes a day to find out my results. I would, however, like to know about the difference in crankcase air...

I checked the number stamped into the old PCV and also the number on the box of the new one and compared it to the TSB sheet you provided. Both PCV’s have the same number which end with “AC”, this supersedes the TSB number ending with “AA”. We’ve also seen photos posted of the seal side of two...

I kept the new PCV box with the part # so I’ll confirm the TSB # to that. Also, when I had the first engine replaced (manufactured in 11/20), I was told I was getting an “upgraded engine” (installed October 2022) and it would deal with the misfire/cam/lifters issues. Also the tsb# ? that speaks...

#5 is definitely damaged. Also, the spread of the gap on #1 through 4 were same to marginally different to some very small degree. Right around .44. #5 was noticeable @.50 BUT #6 was even spread more to .55. That could also explain why #6 is wet.

(21 JTR, 96k kms TL, second engine has just over 60k kms) So, I’ve had a long standing belief that if I couldn’t “feel” air blowing out the oil fill cap while engine running, my rings were seated perfectly and didn’t have blowby and thereby, didn’t need an oil catch can. WRONG! I installed one...

If you tried that up here in Canada, you would void your warranty if something happened with the pump. Down in the states, I hear you can run anything and if something happens you have different laws that let you run what ever you choose if the dealership isn’t providing the oil for you. I...

I’m proud to say I performed the PCV test as outlined. I have one question concerning the MUA (make up air, fresh air IN) hose connection at the intake tube just past the air box. If air is being drawn IN toward the engine crankcase, why and how does oil travel away from the engine to seep, drip...

Wait till you find out that Hotwheels and Matchbox makes Gladiators!

So here’s a question I have. How many PCV valves do we have on the JT 3.6? Now, before a bunch of you jump on me to state to obvious because I’ve read and heard everyone only talk about the need to install one catch can and we all have that one PCV valve at the back corner of the engine on the...

You all US’ns just need to travel north to Canada. Your $180-200 US equals $250 -275 cad. Are you freaking kidding me ?! I’ll tell you right now we ain’t paying $250-275/hour up here. My dealership charges $180cad/hour! Just looked it up. Thats $131US/hour right now.

Do you know if spark plugs were changed when sold to you? For what it’s worth, I changed mine a couple weeks back at 60k kms and then on Sunday drove north 3 hours up to Edmonton (elev 2200 ft) from Calgary (elev 3400 ft) and bucked a strong head wind all the way there. Flags on poles were...

When you get to doing this job please post a pick of your spark plugs and also a photo of the valves.

And that is a mistake I take responsibility for and to that I openly apologize.
