Random question as you guys seem more active than the question thread.

Anyone done PCV pre-emptively as maintenance? Couple people recommend it, but it seems like most wait until symptoms of failure..

Follow up - Do you need the purge canister as well or just the PCV valve? Uro has a replacement kit for 180ish, vs just the valve from FPC for 147.

After I upgraded my turbo I was blowing pcv's left and right. Like every 10k miles. I put a catch can on and haven't had an issue since

I have Android also. But you know what I was getting at. Highly likely it was made in China.
Like I said earlier, until we stop subsidizing oil, it'll keep being cheaper to ship raw materials and goods all over the planet vs make locally. A key part of keeping economic balance is comparative advantage. Fuel subsidies distort it.

Thread comes together over 17" wheels. Zrickety still hasn't paid. Trump not taking office today.

Did I miss anything? I want to help Mud catch up.

Sounds good I'll have to try it. I heard a light coating of mayo on the PCV valve extends its life.
You have to refill the pcv with Mayo every 10,000 miles. A lot of people don't know this. In your case, you have to top off the CC.

Upon further testing the Mayo on the back side of the valves not only eliminated carbon buildup but when run on the dyno when the valves would open there is a 25 HP gain from the Mayo vapors being sucked into the combustion chamber. This eliminates the need for a stage 1 tune and keeps your warranty intact. It's like killing 3 birds with one stone. No carbon, increased HP and protecting your warranty.
