Noob 2001 SC2 5 speed
#4
Thanks guys, drove my wife's SC2 ti work a few days ago and I was very happy with the outcome. She ran great with a 30+mpg average. 125 mile round trip. Probably could have gotten better mpg but I had to flog her a bit and there was a little traffic as well. Overall a good experience. .

Non AC Delco PCVs allow way too much oil to pass and should be avoided where possible.
Briefly, a varnish develops on the oil control rings, they freeze in their channels in the pistons, and fail to properly control the oil. letting some into the cylinders.
Add to that valve guide seals that leak more and more with time and you have a classic saturn burning oil. Some claim that 5W30 was too light an oil to be run in these engines.
It is.
