Why is oil in my air intake tube?
I found oil in my air intake tube from the the throttle body to the MAF sensor. Through some research the reason is that the engine has 2 pcv breather valves that will cause the issue due to the rear one being clogged up. Thanks! Loading…
Is it dangerous to have oil in air intake manifold?
A light oil coating is nothing dangerous. It is the first component to look into when the problem occurs although you should not be worried if there is a small amount of oil in air intake. It is not rare to have blocked PCV valves on cars with less than 100,000 mileage. You have to examine the entire PCV system.
How does oil get into the air filter?
The PCV valve is similar to an engine oil filter in that it eventually becomes clogged with excessive debris (in this case — engine oil) and should be replaced as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer. If the PCV valve is not replaced as recommended, excessive oil will blow through the PCV valve and enter the air intake system.

What should the oil level be on a Harley Davidson?
Your oil level should be 1 square below full on the dipstick when oil is HOT. This will prevent oil blow by into the breather. I agree totally with the other guys. Run here a 1/4 low and she won’t blow by at the filter. Just did 7200 K without adding or losing a drop. It’s good advice. Best info has already been posted.
