Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How often should a PCV valve be replaced? A: Most manufacturers suggest inspection every 30,000 miles and replacement around 60,000 miles, though symptoms like rough idle or oil consumption can call for earlier service.

Q: Does a bad PCV valve cause a check engine light? A: Yes, a stuck or leaking valve can trigger lean or misfire codes and pressurize the crankcase, which may push oil past seals.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
