GAZZUZZ:
Op you could have a blocked catalyst. Does your engine smoke? Is your car sluggish?

honmusa:
Dont bother changing your air filter cos the new air filter will soon go the same way of the old filter .what you have is called blowbye gas ,in this case the blowbye is under more pressure than normal. http://www.misterfixit.com/blow-by.htm
This is usually due to stucked close PCV valve or worn piston ring .
check your pcv valve and if pcv valve is OK ,then "New engine loading" (in Gazzuzz voice)!!
you will need to perform compression test on your engine to confirm piston worn .
If you are in Lagos you can call autologic @ 08061166316 to perform all these test
