I put a new PCV valve in at 30k miles. The one I pulled out still rattled, but they are cheap so it wasn't a big deal to replace it. GM Part number 25179136. $5.71 from the dealer. You can also get the Fram FV391 at your local autoparts store for about $3.

I change mine every year. They are not too expensive and Autozone usually has them in stock. Why don't you just buy a catch can from our sponsor AMW http://www.accmachtech.com/ everyone here seems to like them. I'd opt for that setup instead of a 90* PCV.
