I am consuming oil somehow and it is collecting in the vacuum lines. I went through 3 pcv valves in the 10k miles that I put on it and have to keep topping the oil off every other week. It is not smoking blue so I know its not the rings, and the crank case vent isnt clogged, and it is not leaking oil anywhere, but something is causing it to suck oil in my vacuum lines. The jeep only has 90k original miles, I just did another oil change and put this engine restorer stuff in it to see if it helps.

The PCV lines are vents off of your valve covers. Since the termination point is located in the air box, its unlikely that the oil is being "sucked" into the PCV lines...its being blown into them. That could imply piston blow-by. Maybe get a compression test?

I suppose it could be getting "sucked" up if the inlet to your airbox is clogged somehow. Check the scoop on the airbox to make sure its clean.

Hopefully we can then help you.
