I'm not to sure which engine you have but it's real easy anyway. It's located on the intake manifold near the head, all you do is pull the old one out and swap in the new one. No bolt's, nuts or wires to disconnect just a vacuum line.

What is a PCV system?

The PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) Valve and Breather Element work together within the car’s emissions and ventilation systems. They serve as part of the emissions control system by recirculating unburned gases and fumes back through the intake manifold to be reburned. Therefore these gases and vapors are not expelled through the exhaust system so air pollution is reduced.

What are the benefits of replacing the PCV Valve and Breather Element?

Loss of power, oil dilution and even engine failure are avoided
Oil life is extended and engine lubrication is improved
Oil consumption, rough idle and air filter contamination are avoided
Environmental pollution is reduced
