This makes sense. Been noticing some buildup on our used Acura. It was serviced regularly by your typical oil change shop. (They typically don't use the highest quality oil. 😉) A nice synthetic motor oil should do nicely. Thanks guys! 😊🌎✨

Could it cause pressure build up in the radiator?

[@soniarican6275]

I think so but not sure

[@lasergame98]

The radiator system has nothing to do with the pcv valve. PCV valve directs gases from the crankcase into the intake manifold to burned in the engine. With a clogged pcv valve, all the pressure created by the engine will cause the motor oil leaks.

what cause pressure in the coolant system?
1.Low coolant
2.Bad radiator cap
3. Thermostat stuck closed
4. Damaged cylinder head gasket
