Part # 12572717 PCV Valve...Who's got it?
and what kind of results did you get. I figure it should only be a couple bucks and is worth a shot. Not too comfortable with all this oil consumption that just poped up recently...

Joe,
I've got one. It's too early to tell if if has made a difference yet. They are kind of hard to find. Try Westside Chevrolet. I bought three of them there for like $3.33 each.

I just put in the new fitting as GM calls it. The dimensions are the same as the old PCV valve. The orifice is only about 1/16 inch vs 1/8 inch, so alot less air goes through it. Also there is no valve inside the air flow can go either way. I changed my oil so I will get an idea of whats happening over the next thousand miles.
