Just hit 30k on the odo. I have heard that this is a good time to change the PCV valve. Is there a way I can check to see if mine is still ok, or should I just get the $3 replacement and be done with it?

Does brand matter with these? Will the standard Fram be ok?

Thanks!

You're suppose to hear a rattle if you shake the PCV

Agree on shaking to hear the bypass rattle but they are SO cheap why not throw one in ther anyway if you are concerned?

That is a good question, I don't know...anyone know the part number for a PCV Valve through GM?

Should be fine. I installed a Purolator on my hawk 4 months ago. Not a problem.

should hear a rattle and the valve shouldnt be burnt on the bottom, if it sticks or is really burnt replace. there is no diff. between the valves.... a valve is a valves, i worked at an instant oil change place and we had Service Champ Brand valves, and they were the same as OEM but just had their name on it. but it's 3 bones, mine as well buy one.
