PCV Valve
I'm about to swap out my old one and get a new one and was wondering if there were a particular brand that was better than others!?! Mitsubish wants $25 for it and everywhere else is selling it for under $10. I was at AutoZone and they had one but it was a Deutsch brand for $4 but I've never heard of them before...anyone know if they're any good? My other choice was this one:
http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...type=5&ptset=A but I'd have to order it through Kragen cause they didn't have it in stock. Thanks in advance.

Re: PCV Valve
Get the OEM one. I only paid $13.17 from Rockville Mitsubishi when I bought mine. It only lists for 18.82 so someone is trying to rip you off.
The reason I say get OEM is I have heard that PCV vavles for these cars found at Auto Zone and the like are actually made backwards of the way they are supposed to operate.

Re: PCV Valve
I don't know how reliable this source is but they were saying to stay away from the Fram PCV Valves: http://www.planetkc.com/fatbiker/eng...my%20oil%20cap
I guess Fram just pretty much sucks at everything now. :o/ But yeah, just wondering what everyone thinks? Aftermarket or OEM?

Re: PCV Valve
I looked directly at my invoice and LIST is exactly 18.82. I dont know why Rockville would have one list price and another dealer would have another list. Anyway, I'd just spend the little extra on this and get OEM.

Re: PCV Valve
I think it has something to do with the region that the dealership is in. Because a Mitsubishi dealership down in Riverside sells an oil filter for like $6.50 after tax but up here in El Cerrito, the same oil filter is $9.50.
