I been using a method for all my seals before installing is to treat them with 303 protectant I warm the parts and treat the seal with the protectant and anti seize paste for the pcv for me its been alot easier to remove these types of parts during regular maintenance. Hope this helps someone else like it did me.
I changed PVC valve on my 2007 Honda Odyssey with 208k miles So far it is a reduced oil consumption by maybe 60% Going to measure how much it uses for 3k miles after its next oil change I was having to add 2+ qrts every 3k miles. I used aftermarket parts from eBay $7 USD Good vid there. pVC replacement should be listed every 100k but it’s not. On my maxima it reduced it by about 50% also but the maxima has oil leaks ( rear and front crank seals)
i just changed my pcv valve on my honda crv and the old one didn't rattle when i shook it and neither did the new one.. are they supposed to rattle when in good working order???
The old one looks like having only one O-ring at one end. The new one clearly has two O-rings. I bought an after-market one. It has on O-ring. It has no rattling sound. The old one has sound. Can anyone tell me why no sound? Thanks.
There a few symptoms. Oil leaks are one, If the valve is stuck closed. If it's stuck closed, there will be no vacuum on the side that doesn't go to the intake. A stuck open valve would cause a vacuum leak and could make the mixture rich or lean depending on how much fuel has washed into the oil (near or past due oil change or a no start condition that caused cylinder wash). If the oil has some fuel in it, there would be a rich condition present (negative fuel trim #s) and fresh oil should show a lean condition (positive fuel trim #s). A stuck open valve could make it difficult to remove the oil cap while running due to it causing a large vacuum leak in the crank case. It helps me to remember that the valve is just a controlled small vacuum leak. It clears out the crank case vapors as needed based on engine vacuum by sucking it out.
Replacement of these will also help with the oil burning issue on the 3.5
Thank you for this video. I have a 1st Gen Hona Ridgeline and do all my repairs. This video is so helpful!
EXCELLENT! So clear and easy to understand! Thanks!

Thanks for video 😊
A bad PCV can cause rear main seal leaks also.
Great Video!

This one is located in a convenient area on my 2013 it’s not and the ear snapped off still trying to get it out
Good reason to change it once in awhile.
Yes
Does this design rattle when when you shake it like most PCVs do when they are still working properly?
It does when it's working fine.
thanks to you i now can do this finally loll!

I don’t think these ones rattle like the olden days.
Will this solve oil burning issues? My Pilot burns about a 1q/1,000 miles
I doubt it
It's the eco mode burning oil

I'm not sure but I've heard it's best to use the honda part. They aren't too expensive from Honda.
Is it bad to disconnect the air intake from the valve cover vents?
Shouldn’t it be called a PC Valve and not a PCV Valve? 🤔
positive crankcase ventilation valve. PCV valve.
My 08 pilot has 400k Miles and I've never had it changed 😟...
It may be fine. Probably glued in permanently though. How often have you changed the trans oil?
@@gregs_garage I took it off and it had gummy grime on and in it. Had to buy a new one, thnx for the video.
Trans oil is changed yearly.
@@wanelly at 400k just broken in as long as you change fluids from time to time.
Great video, but how do we conclude if it is a bad PCV? Oil leaks or just preventive maintenance?
Preventative maintenance. Also they can become difficult to remove if you don't change it every few years.

thanks. Are these comments general PCV related, or more specific to the Honda 3.5 PCV system?
Some times it can damage the oil pump if you don't change it
@@worstnightmare9772 uh, no
