I didn't know where to put this so I thought I'd start a new thread...
Dealing with the VCM and burning oil, or ring problems, misfire, basically problems dealing with oil...
1) What oil EXACTLY was being used (from the very beginning)? I'm talking about name brands and ingredients etc.
2) And what oil filter was being used (from the very beginning)? Again, I'm talking about name brands etc.
(just a side note, there was a website that were testing all kinds of oil filters and found one of the worse filters were FRAM filters. They had a tendency to collapse over time.)
So, I was wondering what was being used from the start and up to the VCM problems occurred.
PS: The reason I ask this is because it all MOSTLY deals with moving parts that doesn't come into play until the computer tells it to. Meaning some items in the engine are stowed until activated via the computer. Thus if the engine oil is cheap or not that great, it might be causing gunk/stickiness in these OIL port holes (cutting the flow) for the oil to keep these VCM parts slick and oiled up (that are not always activated). AGAIN, I'm just curious...
