Question

Posted

Hello Experts,

I have a problem in my Honda Grace since couple of days. When I remove the oil level indicator stick out of its compartment while engine is started, oil is sprayed up. I bought this vehicle about 1 month back but by that time this behavior was not there.

The most recent event that I can suspect as the cause for this is, I did an under carriage wash with high pressure (as car was trapped in a heavy mud about one week back).

Some local technicians say this can be caused by a blockage in a part pronounced something like 'Beater valve'.

Could someone express your thoughts on this behavior? My car's YOM 2016 & the current ODO is 31000.

Many Thanks,

Navinath

PCV valve is a possible culprit. But may not be the only possible cause.

Stop using the car and get it repaired immediately. This can lead to more serious (and expensive) issues.

Well.. I'm sure about the 1st owner. But the company (a very big one in Kandy) who imported the vehicle has a record with mileage changes so I'm not that confident.

If the engine has reached its mileage, it should be somewhere over 2 lakhs of kilometers. But I doubt that level had been reached within nearly one year.

Thanks dear @Crosswind

May I know a good place where I can get this repaired?

Replacing the valve isn't a big deal. However, finding out whether the exact problem is in the valve, is.

I take my cars to agents always (except if the agent is Micro). Agents aren't perfect but at least they have gone thru some official training and have the right equipment. Try Stafford.

Why you did this?

Did you noticed any other issue in the engine? (I mean the reason to sticking out oil level indicator and check while engine running)

Well. When I checked the DCT oil, it was not that good so I changed that.

Once that was done, I just accidentally did this while engine was on run & I noticed this abnormal behavior for a vehicle with such mileage.
