Que about oil control valve (ocv)...?
Hi everyone, was curious to know about these valve solenoids. Is this, generally...a part that either works or doesn't, or can it slowly (with time), start to malfunction?
i have a 2009 rx350. I change the fluid usually every 5000 km.
what are some signs that it's starting to fail?
are there 2 valves on this engine? I think there is a screen filter too?
thanks

Either works or it doesn't it seems. I pulled mine (220k miles never removed) and cleaned it and replaced the screen at the same time. The screen was a lot dirtier than the VVT-i solenoid itself from the previous abuse and extended oil change intervals the car saw. There's one of each per valve cover.
