Should I change the o-ring on the PCV valve?

Hello All,

I am changing my pcv valve and was wondering how long do you all think an o-ring should last. I know that the straight away answer is to change it but that would cause me to drive out to the store and I am not that close for that to be convenient.

I have 115k on the original o-ring and it does not feel hard but it is not soft either. These are a bit of a PITA to replace so I don't want to do it again for a while. I have not noticed any leaking but at the same time don't want any unnecessary vacuum leaks.

Ok, I will just get an o-ring.


Happy 4th to all.

BOB

I replaced mine on my truck a few years ago, not more than 5 years. It's already in need of replacing.

Hello All,

I got it replace and it is a bit of a PITA. The o-ring I got from ACE was a bit too big so I ended up using the old one. I will change it out next time and get one from the dealer so I can be sure it will fit. Unless someone may have the right size?

It seems to idle smoother once the PCM did a bit of learning.

Have a good holiday

BOB
