    A PCV valve job lasts how long?

    So I've had this car for almost 3 years now. The first thing i did is replace the PCV valve and crank case breather and tubing. It was pretty bad. Everything still looks good, but I'm starting to have oil push up through the oil cap. Could it be getting backed up in the pcv system again? Or could a worn oil cap be the problem?

    Had similar issues, turned out to be the gasket and cap. Picked up this nice Porsche one from USP, did the job and looks great.

    I really am surprised how cheap the pcv valves are in this car. Mine for instance is the small T style. If you use cheap oil you can bet you're coking up your pcv stuff and that small passage in the PCV i'd bet cloggs real good. Just my 2 cents... For the millionth time I hate the plastic parts.
