Maybe the wrong thread. My 2014 VT burns an excessive amount of oil. Sometimes a quart in 100 miles, and sometimes not for 1000 miles. I’ve changed the PCV Valve. No luck. It’s fouling spark plugs left and right. I’m currently at 95k miles. With me being the third owner I’m not sure what they’d do but since it’s my only form of transportation I’d prefer to get it replaced before it explodes. I have all my oil receipts from when I bought the car at 76k miles. The car does have a CAI and a catless downpipe. No CEL. It’s not tuned but I couldn’t imagine that fouling the plugs since it’s target LAMBDA or however you spell it. Does anyone have any experience/advice? I owe too much on the car to get rid of it. I’m worried one of these days it’s just going to burn all the oil super quickly and run the engine dry.
3rd owner engine replacement before engine failure?

if you are getting oil on the plugs the rings may be gone.. someone else can better speak up than me.
I should have specified. I bought the car last December with 76k miles bone stock. I’ve put nearly 20k on it in the last year. I’m on the verge of saying screw it and just buy a built long block and just put a whole new engine in there. Either that or try and trade the car in and bite the bullet on the negative equity. Trade in says about $5500 but I owe $10.6k 😅 bought the car when I was 18 with almost no credit history. But hey she looks brand new on the outside so at least it looks good while it’s pissing oil.
