Not sure. I have changed mine a couple of times, but it was never actually clogged up or non-functional. It's only $3 at the most. If yours has never been changed, a new one may give you a couple MPG's...

go to local auto store and get one.

I use carb cleaner and clean mine out...but they should be replaced every-so-often.

Nope, just the PCV valve.
Had it there on the counter, pcv valve $78 the guy said "yep, thats pretty expensive"
Needless to say, I just cleaned the old one.

All the thing is ia a one way valve, so it shouldn't go bad! Unless you got issues with your motor and you are sucking all kinds os **** through it
