My 2011 Honda Pilot has been throwing the P0420/P0430 catalyst inefficient code. There could be many causes of this. Before changing the incredibly expensive catalyst, we'll try a few troubleshooting steps that are far cheaper. In the last 2 videos we started by changing the PCV valve and disabling the VCM (variable cylinder management, the green ECO light). Because the VCM system was running for so long, it is possible that the engine has lots of sludge in it. In this video we'll use Marvel Mystery oil to flush the crankcase and see how dirty the oil is after flushing. We'll also add Sea Foam to the fuel system. After this video, we'll do a long-term followup to report on if the catalyst code returns and any other observations. This video is not sponsored.

Everyone has their own opinion. Good to see people taking action to improve the vehicles health.
I do like the old school aspect of MMO. Shout out FordBossMe.
keep us updated!
Thank you!
To be honest it would have been cheaper to use Amsoil engine flush and powerfoam. And I believe you would have gotten your desired result 👍. Thanks for sharing 😊 also you shouldn't really add oil additives to something like signature Series. You can degrade the oil and it isnt needed. The base oil and additive package is already much better than a lower quality oil with an additive
Agreed! Thank you!
Good video! Maintenance is key, and we don't know what works or doesn't until we try. Signature Series is a good choice, and you shouldn't have to do any flush the next time.
Thank you!
BG EPR would probably work better. Nicely done though.
Thank you!
Make sure you don't have an exhaust leak after upstream o2 sensor as it can push the downstream sensor lean and throw the cat codes. You can observe this by graphing downstream sensor voltage on a scan tool. That was the problem with mine. You could also try some cataclean.
Great point! I have been monitoring the sensors and since changing the PCV, disabling the VCM, and doing the flush/sea foam in gas, there has not been any new codes or out of range readings from the O2 sensors. I like to really know that the problem is solved before doing an update, but fingers crossed I’ll be able to provide a positive report soon!
The Oil Geek would not approve.
The new Valvoline oil renew and restore would much better at cleaning the engine and removing deposits then MMO.
I’m too cool to talk to geeks
A young fellow Marvel mystery. It was not designed to work like that. Use it in between oil changes and yes it does. It does lubricate and remove water
I think you are right. I really just wanted to see if it worked as a flush!
Yes, it's brand new oil.If you're gonna get a flush going you need to buy the right stuff to flush it with marlborough always just really a protector
Yes, I’ll try a dedicated flush next time. What do you recommend?
Quaker State Synthetic is excellent. It’s underrated and people think it creates sludge from what the conventional oil did 30 years ago perhaps. My Silverado does better on Quaker state synthetic vs Amsoil Signature and Mobil 1.
What have you noticed is different when running Quaker state?
Hi BTech! Do you have an update on your experience with your VCM delete and any additional information you think is relevant?
Thanks for checking in! I have been filming the followup but have not posted yet because I like to see what the longterm results are before reporting. Here is a sneak peek: after the oil change/flush the car has burned far less oil. After 1600 miles, there were no signs of any reduction in the oil level. It looks very promising that the VCM delete made a significant reduction in oil consumption. On the other hand, the P0430 code returned after 1600 miles. That is the longest it went with the code staying off. I reset it and started trying to clean the cat using fuel additives at much higher concentrations than recommended. The code is still off, and I'll report back again after a few thousand miles! Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@btechnol thanks for the quick response and looking forward to your update. Take care and have a great Fourth of July!
Thank you! Happy Fourth of July!
I agree- you are harming your engine dude- watch the scientific approach the oil geek does so you can get this crappie idea out of your head.
So many crappy ideas, not enough head
