How is everyone doing I just got my 2008 GS about a month ago with 16,000 miles and i took it for it's first service. So the dealer wanted to rotate the tires give an oil change change the pcv valve change the filterd and tighten all the chasis bolts I said ok cool how much? Thry told me 589 dollars i told them no to change the oil and sell me the pcv valve and not to bother with the filters I'd rather use K&N anyway. Long story short I upgarded from a 99 4th Gen Maxima which i still have and runs like a champ with over 200,000 miles on it. Well my question is I've been looking at the engine and been using google and YouTube to find where the pcv valve is and I don't have a clue. Google brought me to this forums page so i subscribed. Can Anyone help please thanks
