Thanks for this. Confirms changing something that should be easy like the PCV is not in the cards for me with my skill level nor worth it. My local independent Lexus/Toyota shop said changing the PCV is not worth it unless there is something bigger needing to be done due to the manifold. I will keep using ATS cleaner to break up the carbon every oil change to see if it decreases my rate of oil burn. Before the first treatment I was burning 1qt every 1,000 miles. Since the first treatment and oil change it has been 1qt every 1300-1400 miles.
@@LILEVO I'm at 152k miles. Per the Carfax, Lexus app service history, and me calling the independent shop the previous owner used it seems mine was meticulously maintained. I just need to change brakes and rotors in the next month or so. Every single routine maintenance item has been done by me or the shop in the last few months. Plugs, every single possible fluid, and all the filters.
@@chrishamby86 sounds like an improvement with the treatments. Surprised there is that much oil burning. Assuming you're using seafoam or water injection or something similar to clean the combustion chambers?

Do you have a video resealing the valley plate or heat exchanger?
@@jm11740 nope. Luckily never had to do it, but once you get to this point you would just unbolt it and pull it out then reseal it.
