What is the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Valve all about?

The PCV Valve transfers gasses from inside the crankcase to the intake manifold where they are burned as part of the normal combustion process. Excess fumes are burned by the engine, rather than released into the atmosphere.

Keep in mind:

PCV valve failure can be caused by other engine problems. To ensure that this is not the case, a mechanic should test your engine after replacing the PCV valve, to make sure that the car runs well and doesn’t have other issues.

How it's done:

Disconnect the vacuum hose.
Remove and replace the PCV valve.
Replace PCV hose if appropriate.
Install vacuum hose.

Our recommendation:

In general, it is a good practice to replace the PCV valve during every major tune-up. Changing the engine oil and flushing the engine on a regular basis will prevent sludge build-up inside the oil pan that may cause the PCV valve to fail.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Valve?

Leaks in the engine compartment.
Leaks underneath the car.
A hissing noise from the engine.
Car runs poorly.

How important is this service?

As excess gas accumulates in your crankcase, the PCV valve redirects it through the intake manifold, where they are used as a normal part of your engine’s process. When the PCV valve fails, your engine won’t redirect this excess gas that it depends on. As such your vehicle will not run smoothly, and it will likely get much worse gas mileage.

Nick replaced my radiator today. He was early, friendly, and did a great job as far as I can tell. He also made recommendations based on questions I asked.

Lexus IS300 L6-3.0L - Oil Change - San Jose, California

Rick was great. He called me to let me know he was slightly behind, and it didn't bother me at all. It was a late Saturday morning and I was just grateful the guy was even working. I ordered a synthetic oil change that came with a tire rotation. I think Rick was only going to do the oil change, so be sure to tell your mechanic you ordered both. He did everything he needed to do and more, with high attention to detail despite being late for his next appointment. He saw that my battery was corroded so he cleaned it off and sprayed it with sealant with me even asking him to! One thing - he left my keys in the ignition the whole time he worked (about 1.5 hours) with music on and everything. My car battery almost died. Lucky it didn't, or my review might not be so great! My car sputtered for a bit when I started my car later that day - it almost wouldn't start. All in all, due to the convenience and high level of quality, I'd definitely use this service again! Lastly, keep in mind that these mechanics are very on-the-go and probably don't get a chance to eat or drink. Offer them water and/or snacks! A happy mechanic = a happy car.
