Question:
I'm driving a 1992 Honda Accord LX, oil is leaking into the combustion chamber. I just found that out today when I replaced the old spark plugs. I found three spark plugs with oil, and that's how I found out there was a leak. How helpful can a non-foul adapter be to the engine's performance and how many more miles can I expect this engine to give me? All of your responses are appreciated, thanks!

If oil is leaking into your cylinders that means that your rings are bad and you will need to have your engine rebuilt. You don't have to rebuild it, but with the condition that it is in that would be the best thing to do. I have seen cars go several thousand miles with bad rings and still drive, the people just had to keep adding oil more often. It all depends on if you want to keep the car for a long time or don't really care about it. If the latter is the case, then keep on driving and say "Screw it!".What wrong with my 91 caprice?
how many miles are on it, does it smoke, knock , use a lot of gas?I drive a 2005 Jeep Liberty, and the inside of my car, fogs and condenses water. What do i do?
Your honda will go another 100.000 miles providing you change the oil regularlyWhy won't my car start when it's really cold?
i own a shop,and if you have 3 cylinders trying to pump oil up,,its not going to last too much longer,this is unusual for a Honda to do unless it has been ran hot before that will cause it to do this,other wise they usually don't start using oil like that,it may last a few more thousand miles though,and yea a set of non foulers will help it for a while,,,good luck with it,hope this help,s.,,merry x-mas.car makes a vibration and humming sound when i turn right...?
the engine could last for a long time as long as you keep the oil level up.How much will it cost to repair my car?
That may work for a while, but the problem will only get worse. I would put them in and trade the car off. Let someone else worry about it.1996 Chrysler LHS with wheel wobble in rt rear.?
It depends on why the plugs are fouling. If the rings are worn and there is oil blowby, nothing short of a ring job will solve the problem. You first need to find out why you have oil in the cylinder. If the rings are OK it could be a valve isue such as a hydraulic lifter. In this case, try an additive such as marvel mystery oil added to the engine oil. Diagnose first, find solution second.You can put anti foul adapters on it to prevent the plugs from fouling out with oil deposits,and it can run many more miles,if you can put up with the smoke from the exhaust and keep it full of oil.You might try to use a heavier weight of oil, such as 20w50,castrol gtx.
STP oil treatment, or lucas oil treatment, they are a couple of good ones.
Check for a blocked PCV system. If oil is back up in the valve cover, it can be force into the spark plug(s). On some cars, you can remove the oil filler cap and look into the valve cover to check for the oil backed up instead of draining down into the engine. If the oil is backed up, you wont be able to see the top of the cylinder head. I do not advise non foul adapters as the same problem will reacquire.
