PCV Valve / Tube Replacement on a IS350
Hi, I have a 2006 IS350 with 142,000 miles on it. All this time I have done maintenance myself on the car and I completely forgot to replace the PCV valve since the car is new. I took a look under the hood and it looks like it's on the driver side, top rear of the engine. Has anyone replaced it yet? Trying to prevent any unnecessary break downs / repairs.

I as well would be curious about the PVC, as it is normally a common faulty part after many miles on MANY cars. Usually if you can remove the PVC and can shake it and can hear it rattle...it is good. If you hear nothing, time for a replacment. Just a general rule of thumb I guess.

Part #12204 would appear to be the PCV valve in Sewell's schematic. I am at about 90k and haven't changed mine. May order one myself....

The PCV valve is located to the left of the brake reservoir. It's the one with the pink outline. Kind of a tight spot for a wrench.
