Napa PCV Valve

[Zimbwanabe]

Before anybody tells me I'm a dumbass, don't bother. I already have you covered. Oil consumption and gas mileage has been horrible for the last few months. Swapped in an OEM valve from my Napa PCV valve done at last PM, and everything is not only fixed, but amazingly improved. Yep, I'm a dumbass for trying to save $2 and a trip to the dealer.

Probably a defected pcv from napa. I have an autozone PCV in my lx450 for months now... no problem at all.

 

[Zimbwanabe]

Perhaps. They are such simple little devices. I didn't expect a problem. The oil consumption was about a quart every 500 miles. I did a 500 mile trip this weekend, and the oil level did not change. Although I did not measure MPG accurately, I know last time I did the same trip, I needed more fuel on the way home, and this time I did a round trip with fuel to spare.

 

[Zimbwanabe]

Sorry. To clarify, I top off at the destination.

I just realized I also changed to 35" tires since last trip too...

Hey! It's no bother.

Don't be so hard on urself, I almost did the same, but I tested it before install.
Could blow air thru the aftermarket PCV but not the factory one.
Aftermarket went in trash brand new, and I made a mental note.
They can be tested with a quick puff of air.
