Hi JJ, Just wanted to thank you for posting this tutorial. It saved my a ton of money since my previous mechanic priced this job out way too high! He actually lost my business entirely because he gouged me and lied to me too many times. I paid $67 for the part at Honda. Installed it in just 5 minutes! Almost as easy as changing the engine air filter! I didn't bother taking off the valve cover, didnt need to. Thanks again!
I'm a total noob at diy auto repair but I've taken on a few projects (changed the oil, changed the spark plugs, cleaned the maf). I've been trying to find the pcv valve on my crv for what feels like weeks (every few days I looked around the engine compartment). Thank you so much for this video! I will be switching that mofo out tomorrow (if it doesn't rain)! Update- I got it done in like 5 minutes, thanks so much!
Great video! I just can't find any videos/instructions on replacing a purge valve solenoid in my 2016 CRV. There's very little room to access the bottom bolt of the purge valve. Would I need to remove the throttle body to access the bottom bolt of the purge valve?
mentions not to over tighten , proceeds to over tightening it 😂😂 , just kidding thanks for the tutorial i just ordered the replacement on Amazon. looks easy to do myself. I might as well go ahead and change the plugs since im already in there
Thanks for the video. Can I get away with just the 10 MM socket? I don't have a 10MM open end wrench and, can't see buying one just for this. Also, what size are the 5 bolts on the cover? Thanks
@@jjsdiygarage1267 I put the PCV valve in yesterday! It took no extension and a long extension with the 10 mm socket but, I was able to get it done. Now I'll monitor my oil consumption. Thanks
@@robertbrost7777 nice, hopefully it helps. Oil consumption has a few different causes..PCV is the easiest and least intrusive so it's a good place to start.
Had a slight oil consumption issue. And it really is a serviceable item not really sure why it's not on the maintenance cycle..im sure it's got some sort of recommended relacment millage I just don't know it
Coil packs, spark plugs, dirty mass air flow sensor. Lots of stuff could cause that. A dirty Mass air flow sensor does not always throw a check engine light.
Usually when your engine is consuming/ burning oil and there’s no obvious oil leak. Avoid doing engine flush on modern engines….just watch a super helpful video like this one and change your pcv valve.
I JUST BOUGHT A PCV VALVE FOR MY 2016 HONDA CRV AND I SHOOK IT TO HEAR THE RATTLE AND THERE ISN'T A RATTLE AT ALL... DOES THAT MEAN THAT ITS DEFECTIVE?? THANKS
Mines is stuck same car and model screw just spins !! I did a valve cover gasket’s replacement and figured I change that too and went to attempt to take out and yea screw just spins anything on that ?? Plz help
@@jjsdiygarage1267 I am thinking the same but it wasn’t like real hard to loosen up it was pretty easy but I’m like why it’s not coming out 🤔 lol then I’m like this is plastic smh 🤦🏻♂️ anxiety went all the way up idk what todo
@@jjsdiygarage1267 I have to bc I guess I didn’t do a great job on the gasket bc it was leaking oil on the side of manifold so I’m the am I will be doing that over ! You think I can use the same gasket? I did it yesterday dint drive nowhere bout 6 miles ? Should be still good or just get new one? Honestly
as long as you didn't mess up the gasket when you tightened it down... I would re use it. Chances are pretty good that it got pinched during install causing it to leak.
I had an oil consumption issue, had to add about a quart of oil between oil changes. Removed the PCV to inspect it and found that the valve was broken and rattled excessively, and didn't work as a one way check valve anymore. Replaced it and the consumption issue went away. Cheap fix.
I do not believe there is a regular replacement interval for the PCV. If you are noticing oil consumption or unusual sounds coming from the valve cover area its worth replacing. Honda may have an interval but I do not know it.
Hi JJ Does your CRV rattle for 1or 2 sec on the cold start or even with every time you start your engine ?? I have this issue on my 2015 CRV. I am out of warranty and have come across forums and videos talking about VTC actuator replacement. However , I found one TSB link that states that replacing VTC on 2015 CRV won't solve the issue. static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10127348-9999.pdf I spoke with my local honda dealer about this issue and he quoted me for $ 1,100 CAD ( just for VTC replacement) . Told me it might be costlier if they find that timing chain and chain guide needs replacement. Any comments or advise please ??
Hello, a rattle at start-up could be a lot of things. How many miles are on your car? Timing chains are usually good for a couple hundred thousand miles if servised routinely and not driven excessively hard. Do you have any check engine lights? i would assume there is a VTC actuator error code, have oil changes been done regularl? was anything done prior to the rattle which may have caused it? Have you ever used fuel system cleaner?

Wow, this was so helpful. My husband and I were able to do this and survived without getting into a fight! Thanks!
I'm glad it helped
Brilliant JJ, thanks buddy wish there was techs like you in my area buddy 💯
Waoo dude, I can't thank you enough.
I was looking for this pcv on my 16 crv.
I think every crv owner must see this video.
Thank you soo much
is there a video for repalcing the valve cover gasket ??

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to video and share.
No problem
Well made video. It happens to know how that flow channel it works from the crankcase vacuum hose true PCV valve and intake manifold exit?
Nice and simple explanation thank you so much
Thanks Justin - really helpful.

I haven't looked for it. I will check it out and let you know.
Thank you good buddy
Clear, Consice, and saving us $$$$
Top Man buddy 👏
Thanks I just did this at 90k miles. Hopefully fixes a 1 qt/8000 mi oil consumption.
You are my hero
Great video. Can you make a video on serpentine belt change on 2015 CRV please. Thanks
Yep I need one anyway
Just a heads up I have made a video that you requested
mentions not to over tighten , proceeds to over tightening it 😂😂 , just kidding thanks for the tutorial i just ordered the replacement on Amazon. looks easy to do myself. I might as well go ahead and change the plugs since im already in there

You might be able to, depending on the size ratchet you have..a 10 mm wrench is definitely worth the money though.

1 question,
Why did you replace this pcv ? What was the symptom ???
Had a slight oil consumption issue. And it really is a serviceable item not really sure why it's not on the maintenance cycle..im sure it's got some sort of recommended relacment millage I just don't know it
@@jjsdiygarage1267 i don't have any oil burning issues. Thanks God, but my 16 crv viabrate on red light.
What do u think 🤔 about that ??
Fuel injectors
Coil packs, spark plugs, dirty mass air flow sensor. Lots of stuff could cause that. A dirty Mass air flow sensor does not always throw a check engine light.
@@jjsdiygarage1267 thanks for the idea. It really pleasure to ask you that. I'll take care them all one by one
Hi what were your symptoms for you to change
Usually when your engine is consuming/ burning oil and there’s no obvious oil leak. Avoid doing engine flush on modern engines….just watch a super helpful video like this one and change your pcv valve.
@@ray-sr1350 took mine out and cleaned and heard the rattle inside nice and free
Pro tip. Use a 10mm box end wrench. Then there is no need to remove the top of the valve cover.
I JUST BOUGHT A PCV VALVE FOR MY 2016 HONDA CRV AND I SHOOK IT TO HEAR THE RATTLE AND THERE ISN'T A RATTLE AT ALL... DOES THAT MEAN THAT ITS DEFECTIVE??
THANKS
Bro the bad one rattles
Mines is stuck same car and model screw just spins !! I did a valve cover gasket’s replacement and figured I change that too and went to attempt to take out and yea screw just spins anything on that ?? Plz help
You may have broken the thread cert. Time to get creative
@@jjsdiygarage1267 I am thinking the same but it wasn’t like real hard to loosen up it was pretty easy but I’m like why it’s not coming out 🤔 lol then I’m like this is plastic smh 🤦🏻♂️ anxiety went all the way up idk what todo
@Ray Cruz I would take the valve cover back of, and try getting it out.
@@jjsdiygarage1267 I have to bc I guess I didn’t do a great job on the gasket bc it was leaking oil on the side of manifold so I’m the am I will be doing that over !

But why replacing it. I bet ya it didn't need to be replaced

the valve is good if it rattles if it doesnt rattle its gynked up replace it
When does this need replacement?
I do not believe there is a regular replacement interval for the PCV. If you are noticing oil consumption or unusual sounds coming from the valve cover area its worth replacing. Honda may have an interval but I do not know it.

Not sure if you fixed this yet. But I had the same problem. My mechanic removed and put back the oil pan and the rattle disappeared on startup.
@@jdoggosu I ended up changing the cam chain tensioner last year in July. This has resolved the issue so far.
Nice good catch
