OK so my 06 v6 has been chugging oil like a highschool kid at a kegger. I ordered the right PCV valve and am wondering if I should do any other cleaning of the intake etc? Or would some lucus cleaner/additive do the job? I know some added seafoam to the crankcase and gas tank? Ideas?
thanks

Some fuel injector or fuel system cleaner wouldn't hurt. As for what may be 'stuck' to the inside of your intake, Seafoam Deep Creep would help a little, but short of taking-off the upper intake and washing it with something like Simple Green or Dawn, I don't think you're going to get the walls of it clean while it's still on the car.

Seafoam in the crankcase isn't going to make it to the same places as the oil residue would have. The PCV would have allowed the oil to saturate the intake manifold, then runners, then possibly the combustion chambers.

I always chugged beer, not oil. But that's just me......

Thanks Karl, so I know the crankcase is where the oil came from in the first place:boobs:, but I was thinking of just a through and through cleaning.
I saw at the dealership they offered a intake manifold flush that was suppost to take care of the runners and intake valve, but also had some kind of fuel additive that had the same description minus the runners... thought it was interesting but didnt ask what they charged... They also said that 1000 mi a quart is normal?! I got a catch can over the weekend to install inline with the valve just to keep it all outta my intake and give me an idea how much to fill!

Well, it does seem like someone should make a foam cleaner that can be sprayed into the manifold and expand/clean. If the dealer has that for a reasonable price, I'd consider it.

May have to go Googling myself....
