Re: smoking 3000 gt
My first guess would be worn valve guides and/or valve seals

You have bad valve stem seals. 99.9% positive. Not a big deal but something that will need to eventually be taken care of.

Re: smoking 3000 gt
Even though your valve stem seals are bad, go with a good PCV, so burning more oil doesn't add more to the problem.

Keep your Auto running Greener for longer than 7years/100Kmiles, see http://www.ideabuyer.com/ipavail/acm...issions-filter

By good, he means OEM. The auto parts stores PCV valves are built backwards.
