Hello. Last week I posted about oil consumption and after several replies and making some phone calls, I decided to change the PCV Valve. First of all, I'm not very mechanically inclined (changing the oil is about where I stop on anything other than a diesel mercedes motor).
I ran into a problem changint the PCV Valve. When I took out the valve, the gromet was so brittle that most of it broke off and fell inside. The guy who sold me the part at the dealership said this might happen. He said it happened twice to him changing these over the years and eventually it will break up and find it's way down to the bottom of the oil pan. Is this true or do I have a problem on my hands now.
Appreciate any input!
