What did you do with your Tundra or Sequoia this weekend?

Over the course of 1 month of ownership, my Tundra has leaked 13 drops of oil on my driveway. Started doing some reading around about leaks at the bell housing. I found a post in the 200 series section about changing the PCV valve after having a very similar small oil leak. So, $16 for OEM vs $$$? for a RMS job, I’ll try it. I do not feel that the RMS is in my wheelhouse for DIY.
Probably a good choice either way, as this one was gunked up and not very springy. $16 well spent I guess.
Worth noting that I am aware that I used the FlexFuel PCV Valve, it was what the OP used in the post and apparently, what was on the truck anyway. These were identical with the green cap.

Switch to Valvoline Restore&Protect 5w30, change it often (3k miles maybe?). Your compression rings may be stuck, that's why PCV is overloaded.

I replaced mine between 30k and 40k. It was more like the valve on the left, just dipped in oil. Used Toyota and Red Line oils back then, twice a year or 5k miles.
