Over time that oil builds up in places you don't want it to, like on your valves.

Then at approximately 4000kms the oil level low warning light popped on and I had to add nearly a quart of oil.

This seems excessive as I NEVER had burning oil or PCV issues with either of my ISF's.

I'm going to tear off the intake and PCV lines today to see if there is any build up.

No it does not look like there are any leaks under the car.

I just got a oil level low today was like 3/4 quart low to get back to full and ive never had this problem before until i recently installed the rr racing intake and air oil sperator
no clue why its burning oil now i installed the rr racing parts correctly and i have no leaks
