Hey, My VY ute (V6 Manual) has used oil almost as long as i've had it, accompanied by the occasional puff of smoke on start up. Oil consumption started out at about 3L every 10,000km. Holden did the valve stem seals under warranty thinking that was the problem. It wasn't. Oil consumption last...

Does any one know a link to a how to guide for replacing the PCV Valve on a '02 VY V6? Cheers,

i think a possible cause of the break down of the seals is because it used to sit for about 4 weeks at a time as i used to work away so I'm thinking over time they dry out

its continually using oil from the start of the oil change, which is what makes me think its an internal engine problem and not a break down of the oil

Yeah a mate of mine has suggested that also

comin up on 140000km

yeah running fine apart from the oil

Hey, I have a VY S Ute 5sp man and it uses oil. Its been about 6300km since my last oil change and I've topped up with around 4.5L of oil. Every now and then i'll get a hit of smoke from the exhaust on start up also. Its had this problem for a few years but its steadily getting worse...
