Default Don't forget your PCV Valve
I performed a major service today and while I was replacing the PCV valve it made me realize that I never hear too much about it on here. It is costly part but very important.

Sure, you keep up that mentality. Head over to some of the other forums on here and you will change your mind. Why would you trust the possible sludging of a 10K engine over an $8.00 part?

The PCV for the LS should be around $5. Doesn't seem too costly.

Why did you replace it if it never fails?
