I am having the same problems everyone else with VCM has. Repeated issues with engine throwing codes except that disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it has remedied the engine codes 301 to 303 and also alleviated the missing/running on 5 cylinders and then no codes again for 1000-3000 miles. I did have one fouled plug in cylinder 1, but it was not from oil. The ignition coil had gone bad, causing the spark plug to fail. My car is 2012 Odyssey Touring with 176,000 miles on it. The engine uses about 1 quart of oil in 6000 miles so I don't think it's awful considering how many miles there are on the vehicle. It also has a small external oil leak and I can smell the oil burned on the engine occasionally when I get out of the car. My driving is 90% freeway/highway because I drive long distance a lot and even my local driving by itself is 80% highway. Very very little stop and go driving at all. But anyway all the engine codes have been addressed and all my plugs are new NGK and all ignition coils are good. Everything is working now. My plan is to buy a muzzling device that will allow me to see as soon as the engine starts getting too hot, so I want one of the automated ones. And as I understand it, I should also use techron on half tank of gas, 2 times successively.

Any input between the muzzlers that automatically adjust? Difference in installation process, pros/cons comparatively? I'm gonna be driving in temps ranging from 0 degrees F to 120 degrees F.

I've already read through the post that details the different types available but I am not permitted to comment on posts and I wouldn't mind input on the S-VCM and the other one that is automated and allows overheating (if it occurs) to be observable on the temp gauge in the dash.
