Have 2005 honda civic ex 1.7L, in trying to keep the car trouble free i was going to replace the pcv valve now at 122,000 miles. Not having issue but more of a maintenance preventive measure. The pcv valve has never been replaced. Not sure if it needs replaced regularly and if so how frequently. I understand that if it needs replaced it should be with an original equipment part. Thank you for any information.

what barney said – but then again, it’s less than $2 usually and generally easy to replace (unless you’re on a 1990 Chevy Lumina, in which case, it’s underneath the intake manifold), so why not…wouldn’t hurt anything…
We’ll thank you two for the quick response. Guess if I have it out might as we’ll replace it and do it again in another ten years.
Probably would be a good idea to replace given the mileage and the fact that it has never been replaced. I would advise to replace with a Honda OEM valve if you decide to replace. Honda’s can have issues with aftermarket valves. Also this valve is male threaded into the engine. Not the usual plug-in type as on most cars. The OEM valve appears to cost around $18. See the attached view for location of the valve.
