    Recently purchased this vehicle that's been cared for w/ regular oil changes and has been lightly used. I've gone through and replaced all fluids, spark plugs, PCV, clean intake/throttle body, installed oil catch can. Next up is EGR cleaning.

    The vehicle appears to have a slight oil consumption habit which I know isn't uncommon. Obviously the PCV and plugs were ready for replacement, but I'm looking to get an assessment on their condition. Does anyone see anything out of the ordinary in this wear?

    Thank you,

    Nothing unusual about the spark plugs at all. The PCV valve has a fair bit of heavy deposits on it- consistent with an engine that should have had the oil changed more frequently.
