they dont work... fix your PCV system and replace the gaskets..

do it right, or do it twice

yea, only thing i've ever seen is put 80w90 in, that stopped a civic i had from burning oil and leaking it but it can't be good on the motor and no longer liked cold weather after that. but seriously theres really no way to fix it without doing what he said and thats to replace gaskets, all thicker oil does it slows it down
