My Accord burns oil (and kills cats) and Shouty Kilmer said that if it is not a bad PCV valve, you need to rebuild the engine. I posted a twenty-second video of my beard replacing my PCV valve on Facebook wondered why anyone would pay a mechanic to replace that. All that I needed were pliers. Had I not spent five seconds fumbling it would have been a nice fifteen-second repair.

[A friend commented it looked like my beard did all of the work]

Sadly, that did not seem to improve the oil consumption measurably.

What are the standard things you replace on each of your winter beaters?
