After replacing my pcv valve, I found that the hose leading from the pcv valve was so soft where it connected to the nipple on top of the engine, that the vacuum from that nipple was collapsing the hose in on itself and blocking the suction. Replaced the Honda hose with a 16" piece of pcv hose sold by the foot at an auto parts store. This was on a 2009 Honda civic with 220,000 miles. Thank you so much for your videos. I have been able to maintain my Civic and have learned a lot about cars because of you!
Hey Danny you probably have no idea how many people you have helped. I own a Civic 2009 and I never knew there was a thing such as a PCV Valve. Thank you Danny God Bless
Nice clear video, good editing. My 2007 Honda Civic LX has around 170 thousand miles. I have owned it since new. I was recently told mine needs PVC replaced with $300 estimate. I have the factory Honda Service shop manuals that said to squeeze the tube to test the valve, but tube is so hard I couldn't squeeze it. I tried to order replacement PVC tube and was told no longer available. Not long ago I asked dealer to replace the transmission filter and was told my vehicle doesn't have a transmission filter, so I found it online and replaced it myself. The transmission filter was buried under the Throttle body and well mounted on a solid bracket. I recently replaced the throttle body myself finding the throttle body was affordable online. Thanks for doing this video.
Appreciate your comment, about the transmission filter, I was also told it didn’t exist by the dealer, I eventually found a honda dealer who got me it and I made a video to help others. Here is a link to replacement of the transmission auxiliary cooler filter th-cam.com/video/VtKLVJpnA40/w-d-xo.html Appreciate you watching my videos And commenting 👍🏼
@@dannysdiygarage Thanks but my videos are crude at present.

@@dannysdiygarage The video with the most views I did so far is about family safety. I did not do any editing just captured what I recorded on local TV.

Followed your instructions 100%. Except I took off the front cowl cover. This is my 1st attempt on PCV replacement. The original didnt come with the washer but i installed the newer oem pcv valve with a washer anyway. I was a bit worried when applying the specified torque because it was slipping a bit, then i realized its because of the washer lol. I stopped at 32. Thank you for this nice & clear video Danny. Awesome preventive maintenance DIY.
I swapped the pcv valve on my 2006 Civic at around 240k km (150k miles) purley as a preventative maintenance measure. There was no particular concern other than a bit of oil consumption. The oil consumption was unaffected by the new valve. Now the car has 395k km (246k miles) and it running great with the same replaced pcv valve. It consumes about 2 litres of oil per oil change interval, which is reasonable for its age IMO. I used a Honda oem part. Considering Honda has no service interval for PCV valves, my experience is that once or twice in the life of the car is plenty frequent enough as a preventative maintenance measure. At least for a Honda. I have a 2010 Odyssey that has its original PCV valve and has no issues other than, again, some age related oil consumption (about one litre per oil change interval). I'm replacing the valve preventatively now at 234k km (146k miles) with a Honda part, while the valve cover is off, and don't expect to do it again in the life of the vehicle barring any obvious issues with the part.
Awesome videos my friend.. as an enthusiastic diy guy with a 2006 civic manual with currently 316k miles on the clock any videos from you are extremely helpful. Fantastic narration and video work. Keep em coming!
I have an 06 Civic ex I have been driving since 2013 when it had 110k on it. Just hit 264k on it. Pcv has never been replaced. Going to be finished replacing pretty much the entire suspension and power steering pump this weekend. Guess I will hit this while I am at it.
Replaced mine on my 2019 civic coupe ex-t at 58,000. It was absolutely shot. Maybe its just a placebo but the car feels like its idling and running better. I also learned modern pcv valves dont necessarily make a rattle noise when new.
@@dannysdiygarage I've been into cars on an armature level since 1998. I'm only now researching just how important the pcv valve is. Especially, especially in modern cars. I had noticed my oil was getting black really fast, like within 300-400 miles. That was my first sign. I also noticed there was some hesitation on cold start in the morning. Then during warm up I could feel an ever slight sorta misfire. Even performance felt a bit off, and my MPG had dropped slightly. Over a week now with a new pcv valve, and fresh oil change and what a remarkable difference. I'll hit 60,000 miles by the end of the week, and she still feels like brand new. I realize 2019 isn't all that old, but I've been meticulous on maintaining the car. So I can tell when even the slightest thing isn't right. I'm now spreading the word to everyone I know to have their pcv valve changed. Especially if over 50,000 miles. With how inexpensive they are I don't see why not replacing them even once a year would be an issue. Especially on the honda L15B7 engines with DI and turbo charging, they're under a lot of stress. Personally I will be making this a once a year thing. I do a transmission drain and fill once a year, 2 air filters a year, plugs every 2 years, cabin air filter once a year, along with a bunch of intake valve cleanings before my oil change. I switched from factory oil filters to Baldwin, or Purolator boss ever since finding out fram makes the honda A02 blue filter. The company ' FULL ' makes a great oil filter as well. Keeping the throttle body clean, along with the MAF and MAP sensors is also part of my yearly maintenance program. My goal is to keep this car for 30+ years. So I've taken it on myself to give it the best. Just replaced my brakes finally, and while I was at it I changed my brake fluid. I changed out the factory DOT3 for a 70,000 mile DOT4. Which is completely fine to use. Just check your cap before changing the brake fluid. I've run nothing but castrol edge or castrol GTX full synthetic since new. As a castrol fanboy I hope it's helping to keep the internals clean and protected. I have extreme automotive OCD 😂, like underneath the car cleaning areas people will never see ocd. Or removing the inner fender liners, cleaning the inner fenders, spraying them with fluid film. Then cleaning both front and back of the liners, and using a quality plastic restorer before reinstalling. Any bolt, nut, or screw that's even remotely rusty or rusting I'll replace. Often with better quality where possible. I've detailed cars for over 20 years as well, so I keep my honda spotless and protected inside and out. Anyway, great channel sir, and keep up thr great work!!!
Excellent! I'm getting ready to make this exchange as soon as possible! Your video was very good for learning. Thanks you very much Danny! God bless you!
Danny, your videos are awesome! Just subscribed cuz I keep watching it on TV but I finally subscribed on my phone. Watched your video on how to do the PCV valve. The transmission filter brakes and I'm looking forward to the front struts. Good health and good fortune to you sir.
Here's a tip for your work bench. You should wire the outlets so they are in front of the bench face, that way they are never on the bench and in your work.
@@dannysdiygarage my 2007 coupe Honda has water in trunk every once in awhile and I thought it was the left rear taillight so I replaced it cause it was aftermarket, my leaks on left side only, thks
Hey there are you able to tell me where a pcv valve is located on a land rover discovery sport HSE 2017. I bought the replacement pcv valve but I can’t seem to find where the valves are. Any advise would be great. Thank you
well , now I know where it is , also i did not even know my 09 civic with 325k miles on it has a external transmission filter , yup I changed it , now I need to change the pcv
@@dannysdiygarage i’ve been enjoying driving it. put over 1100 miles on it already. I fixed the powered mirrors today. the next big thing it needs is a new clutch. i’ll have it done professionally in the summer.
I’d be hesitant to torque this valve to 33 ft lbs , my replacement pvc valve snapped off , I just hand tight my 2nd replacement didn’t bother with a torque wrench
Actually that is the written specification, I do agree with you, it doesn’t seem like it needs to be that tight, however its all good, that’s the specification
Man, I tried to replace this today and set the torque to 33-lb-ft and snapped the PCV valve....TWICE!!! The new replacement and the original one. Luckily, I was able to remove the threads out of there. Currently, plugged it up with paper towels until another replacement comes in. Yes, 33-lb-ft is what the service manual says. Pissing me off!!
Yeah, I agree it does seem high, however that is the spec, Honda service manual, the drain plug for the transmission is 36lbft. That also seems high, but that’s the spec

Hello Danny, I respect your knowledge 100 %. But my old Civic had 500 000 km and I never looked at the valve. Perhaps more something for modern cars?
I was wondering what that was leaking back there, now I know what it is and wha part to get to replace it, thanks!!
You’re welcome
Thanks for the video and , by the way, your car look so clean that it seems like coming out right from the factory assembly line! 😮👌
I've heard that before, being in California helps
@@dannysdiygarage lol!! The California climate is probably very different than Montréal! 😅
But your car is really clean! 😀👌
Is there a product that cleans the PCV valve and also the EGR valve, so one product for both?
Thank you so much very helpful ☺️
I would always replace the hose and clamps . You could have looked inside the hose with a penlight , flashlight . And even to clean the hose out .
It might be your spool valve gasket that's leaking. Very common on 8th gens and is right above the pcv valve.
Thanks so much for that Josh, I'll pick up a seal and install that, I believe you are correct, I appreciate your wisdom.
Replace one today and used 33 ft.lb. It snapped. Now I have the bolt stuck in there.
I went and looked at mine and it's much harder to access than yours at least with my hands !
Big heads are a definite disadvantage when working on cars, good luck
