I wish this video existed when I did all the required maintenance on my 2010 Prius. You are so thorough and have such great close ups! It is much appreciated. If anyone else is wondering what they should be concerned about on this gen Prius, I did the following items over one weekend: Inverter coolant Engine coolant Hybrid cooling fan cleaning Transaxle fluid change Throttle body cleaning Intake manifold cleaning EGR pipe / cooler cleaning PCV valve replacement New spark plugs
I have a 2006 Scion XB. Oil was getting into the intake manifold so I replaced the pcv valve with a brand new oem part. Oil was still getting into the intake manifold so I installed an oil catch can. The oil catch can catches a lot of liquid in the winter. I realize that the average car owner is not gonna remember to empty a catch can but it has really worked well for me.
Thank you so much for the thorough video and description. I took my intake off to clean it and the EGR tube. When I saw the same puddle of oil, an inch! I freaked out. So glad that it is only a PCV valve. My cars are a 12 year old Prius and a 20 year old Corolla so your videos are greatly appreciated my friend. Have a blessed day!
Thank You Very much! I am cleaning EGR system, intake manifold pipes, including EGR valve and cooler behind it likely will use sea foam spray loosen up carbon deposits let them go back down exaust pipe then out to tail pipe, after soaking finishing with carb cleaner spray... also inspecting cleaning PVC system and valve, spark plugs, fuel injectors, while everything taken apart, will do engine flush, oil change, coolant flush with citric acid then rinse then new coolant, transmission oil replacement, TBI clean as well... and if available "KN & N" air filter for the air box... I practiced on AUDI a6 2001 twin turbo where many things were fixed by me on the road most of them... -tibor
Thanks for the video Peter. I discovered I have this issue in my 2014 PIP at around 150k miles (first time I chacked). I have a theory that the PCV is not functioning properly due to being installed in the horizontal position (I speculate it uses gravity to keep the valve closed therefore needs to be in the vertical position to function properly). As an experiment, I have replaced the PCV in the block with a 5/8" hose barb fitting (16.5x1.5mmx5/8" hose barb approx) and put the PCV at the opposite end of a 12" length of 5/8' hose after it turns vertical (the PCV is in the vertical position). Then 3/8" into the oil catch can, then 18" of 5/8" hose back down to the intake manifold. I'm anxious to see if this will help cut down on the oil that gets passed into the IM.
It's extremely fortunate that Toyota makes it so easy to remove these intake manifolds! (and with silicone gaskets, you don't need to replace them every time)
It's unfortunate that Toyota put our 2ZR's PCV valve in such a hard to reach location. It's a regular maintenance item in my book, at least every 50k miles or so. I would say many 2ZR owners have excessive oil consumption issues and blame the piston oil ring and drain holes when it's actually their PCV valve causing the issue. 😑
I unbolted my air intake manifold then I bolted it back in . Now I’m getting lots of coolant loss and engine misfires. Do I need to reinstall the manifold with new gaskets ? Please help me
Pcv valve , that lil thing can destroy engine ... If never replaced every 30k miles ( at least ) and get clogged engine oil gets sucked in through intake manifold , " your " engine starts to run low in oil , cat conv gets clogged due to excessive heavy smoke from excessive oil consumption ... Its a disgrace buddy
@@Joserocha-wm9de The PCV valve is not a replacement item. They outlast the engine internals in most cases. Cars today are good for 150-175k miles, at that time smart people buy new. That Prius is a money pit. It’s done. A new car is much cheaper than the sum of it’s parts never mind the labor.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q Have you looked at the car market recently? You have to think about someone's financial status. They would rather bite the bullet and pay for a large repair bill on their already paid off car than to have to make monthly car payments all over again. Also, that PCV is not lifetime. We have had a few priuses come in due to oil consumption issues. We find oil in the intake due to a stuck PCV. I personally agree with periodically checking on your PCV along with everything else when you're doing an inspection
@@jimrossabrena7955 Car prices are irrelevant. Wages are going up faster and trade in value is higher. PCV valves are not a maintenance item. I’ve never touched one and never had a failure. Better to offload the old obsolete junk.
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
I tend to blame engine wear and blow-by. The lower portion of the intake is actually functioning as a catch can????? trapping the oil blow-by and the EGR system is sucking unburned particulates in from the exhaust. Just my 2 cents.
Hi... I have seen a video where the maintenance guy has installed an oil catch can.. kindly guide us if it is required in Prius? Will it solve the issue? If it was required then why it was installed by the company? EGR blockage is the issue causing spillage of oil or if cleaned, it will solve the oil spillage issue into intake? Need your kind input I am also sharing link with you for better apprehension th-cam.com/video/0f5rcBRDVCU/w-d-xo.html

If anyone else is wondering what they should be concerned about on this gen Prius, I did the following items over one weekend:
Inverter coolant
Engine coolant
Hybrid cooling fan cleaning
Transaxle fluid change
Throttle body cleaning
Intake manifold cleaning
EGR pipe / cooler cleaning
PCV valve replacement
New spark plugs
Yup also did the same to mine
That is impressive amount of work in one weekend, this would take me about three weekends LOL.

Ha-ha, PCV valve has nothing to do with a paddle of oil - it will be collected there anyway. Author is not enough knowledgeable
Welcome back my friend 👍👍👍

Fantastic camera work.

Thanx for Part numbers, from germany.
To confirm a blown head gasket you can buy Block Tester BT-500 Combustion Leak Test Kit - it tests for compression gases at the radiator cap.
Very informative Peter 👍
Thanks for your sharing knowledge sir ,👍 !
Inexpensive part 👍👌
❤❤❤
Thank yoy Man for you English! Thank you for this video! Thanks for instuction how to remowe this PCV valve! Good luck!
PVC valve should be replaced every 100k. They are not expensive or difficult to replace compared with the damage they can create.
Interesting repair.
It's extremely fortunate that Toyota makes it so easy to remove these intake manifolds! (and with silicone gaskets, you don't need to replace them every time)
I have 2004 corolla same problem. How to clean intake manifold?
great informative video

After maintance of EGR valve and its cooler... location of PCV valve is super handy =) Done its 2 days ago, and my hands almost dead =(
i replaced my valve and the problem is still occurring. Still oil in the intake body. Maybe it's clogged behind the valve ?
Does this occur from letting oil go too long Peter?
No it's more likely PCV
Yeah this one being close to 200k I'd say the pcv was LONG overdue..
I unbolted my air intake manifold then I bolted it back in . Now I’m getting lots of coolant loss and engine misfires. Do I need to reinstall the manifold with new gaskets ? Please help me
Hello I have 2010 Toyota prius it has Oil decrease problem. May it coursed buy this problem?
Peter, you mentioned this is from a lack of maintenance. What maintenance?
Pcv valve , that lil thing can destroy engine ...

My prius 2013 has 232000 shluld i replace intake and pvc

It is not the pcv valve causing oil in there ! It makes no sense
