This is crazy, but Oil Burn? The Story of conquering phantoms.

This is the ship that most of us are in. '03 with 210K miles. Using half 0w40 and half 15w50, netting a 7.5w45 weight oil has helped.
A good fix would be to create more vacuum and a better ring seal. Krank vents achieved this, however it make the seals cluck at idle, which I can't imagine is good.
I've been thinking about somehow restricting the breather tube air flow capacity in order to increase vacuum, like inserting a second pcv valve in that hose, but so far it's been easier to just add oil.

I am about to order the gasket pieces, about the oil cap, I got two different quottes,
One seems affordable, 9 euros, the other 25 and seems not the original since is ugly.
Could you experts please advice? All my order of gaskets etc will come from coxmotor, the one who supplies the ugly cap
Affordable ( not shown) https://www.lingshondaparts.com/part...ber=PFKL315510
Expensive and ugly, please do click https://www.coxmotorparts.co.uk/hond...il-filler-cap/

The Cox one is another part number for an oil cap for another car, pretty sure all oil caps fits between different models though.
Just ask to get 15613-PC6-000 and they should be able to supply the gasket instead.
We said it many times before though, changing all these things will probably not do much

...though I will add if the cap is old, new gasket will make tightening the cap much easier and much less torque needed. Meaning not so hard to unscrew later.
My old gasket was so hard I had to crank it down to get it tight. Later after several heat cycles, removing cap was actually painful for my fingers trying to apply enough removal force. Now its like butta...

Out of curiosity I went out to Harbor Freight and bought a vacuum gauge to see if I had a crankcase vacuum leak. I measured vacuum as the breather hose at -14hg steady at idle. Just checked my dipstick and it looks like I've lost a quart of oil in 350 miles of street driving/commuting. So unfortunately it looks like replacing the gas cap or any of the other gaskets in the cylinder head is not going to fix my oil burning... It must be getting past the oil rings.
This is an 01 engine with 146K miles btw.

Can you post a picture/link of the gauge you used?
Was your measurement in IN-Hg or CM-Hg?
Is 14 HG good or bad? What should it be?
thanks,

Here are some good pics of before and after swapping out the oil cap seal. Mine was flat and hard but still had good crank case vacuum. First pic will be the vacuum with the old gasket, last pic with a new gasket, they're exactly the same, which was a little surprising.

If you had time, it would have been fun to see how the pressure held with the oil cap and *no* seal whatsoever. I wonder if that would make a difference either, since the oil cap itself is threaded in (so were we assuming air is escaping past the threads this whole time??).
