Where is the PCV Valve Located in an '05?

[Mike Wilson]

Where is it, anyways?

(And average miles for replacement).

Owners manual says it is a "critical" part of routine maintenance, yet does not

show where it is or how to remove/replace it!

Thanks...

Thats because it is buried on the back of the engine with coolant hoses going to it, IT is a real PITA to change.....

I may tackle mine at 60, IF not it will Waite to 100K....

PCV valves normally do not need replaced. If they rattle, they are good. My Escort GT still had the original at 130,000 miles. I wouldn't worry about it.
