Oil burning after new PCV valve

Condensation

 

This is probably redundant but....

New means new. It does not mean it is any good. Defective parts slip thru.

 

The truck will still run with a gooped up PCV, but it will run a lot better with a new one. For a Ten-dollar part at Toyota, It's worth it in my humble opinion.

 

I wanna say my local dealer only wanted about $3.50, it was insignificantly cheap is what I remember. About the same price for a can of brake cleaner. I think I spent more for the new hose & hose clamps.

If you need to replace the hose like I did, the Toyota one is nicely formed and it’s a hose in a hose, so abrasion protected. I didn’t feel like dealing with the stupid parking lot at my dealership for a hose. So when I needed to stop at a parts store, I picked up 2’ of 3/8” hose and a pair of hose clamps. 1’ might have been enough, I didn’t measure but I’d rather have too much than not enough. I wrapped it with a zip tie where it wants to rub.

I guess maybe if you're in a time crunch and a new valve isn't readily available, but if you're going through the effort to remove it you might as well just replace it with a new one given it being such a cheap part.

 

It's a 5k mile interval per the owners manual on my 4.0. I wouldn't double it because you run synthetic unless you're getting an oil analysis.
