I bought Samcrac's $1500 Mercedes and I am fixing on he channel. Go check it out -> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrSfd9GqrJfagZs.html

I have a 2016 Scion tC (The second gen tC has the same engine and transmission as the Camry and Rav4) and the process is the same. On a normal car where the pcv valve is on top of the engine, I would recommend removing the PCV valve every 30K miles of so, check it, clean it if needed and put it back in, or replace it if it is gummed up. But with the horrible placement on this engine, checking/cleaning it is not an easy option. So rather, I'm just going to replace it every 60-70K miles. I just replaced the PCV for the first time at 69K, it took about 2hrs from wheel off to wheel on, and here's what I learned. - On the tC, after removing the plastic panel, the opening in the fender well is a bit tighter. The body style is a bit smaller and lower, so I guess that's expected. - Even with the smaller opening in the wheel well, there is still plenty of room to work to remove the crank position sensor wire and bracket. I went a bit further and from the top, I unclipped the next wire support up the line, and was able to really get the wiring and bracket pushed out of the way, giving me a bit more space to work. - Getting the hose on and off is the hardest part. I was able to see it and reach it by hand, by lying on the floor under the brake rotor. Took a bit to find a position that would allow me to get my hand up in there such that I could pinch and slide the hose clamp back. I was able to do this with my left hand - no plyers needed! Then the hose pulls off easilly. - The valve itself was not too hard. A long socket with a short extension and flex head wrench worked perfectly. The flex head wrench is helpful, but you might be able to get by with a non-flex wrench. - From the bottom of the engine, the new valve screws in easilly by hand as long as you put it in the socket with an extension first. Once it is in by hand, I found it was easier to use a wrench to tighten it from above. I even was able to get a torque wrench on it and tighten it to spec (18 FtLb) - Getting the hose and clamp back on is the hard part. I was able to do this by feel from under the car using my left hand. - I should be able to do this a lot quicker next time. I spent so much time just trying to figure out the best way to position myself to see the thing and reach up in there. Hope these tips help others!

The Toyota engine that was burning oil due to defective piston rings was the 2.4L 4cyl 2AZ-FE . I had a 2007 Scion tC that had that engine. The car was great, but burned too much oil , almost 1qt per 1,000 miles. The Toyota dealer in Roseville, California said it was normal and didn't want to repair the engine. I NEVER returned to that dealer.

Thank you. Because of this video i was able to buy the exact tools and fixed it myself. You made it very easy for all of us .

You're the man. I was able to change this valve in about 1/2 hour. I would suggest long needle nose 45 degree pliers to pull/reinstall the hose.

Thank you for posting this informative video. I just purchased the replacement from the Toyota dealer and the parts personnel did not have a clue where it was located. He showed me the diagram and said " oh, it's right here"-pointing towards the oil cap. 🙄

12/10 rating on video quality description brother. Thanks for showing it 👍🏼👌🏼

Very good information. Thank you for the tip on which socket to use.

Thanks for the video instructions. I disconnected the hose from top, remove the tire, side cover , crank position sensor and the bracket then pull the hose out of the PCV valve, it's not too bad and it took me almost an hour to get the job done. Note: don't forget to plug in the crank position sensor to the sensor or you car won't start. At 97K miles the PCV valve still looking pretty good.

Thanks... I was hoping it will be easier, I remember doing this YEARS AGO, but now that make things COMPLICATED for the DIY crowd...

Hi thanks for the video.. im an uber driver and i like to do my parts replacement my self.. I have a 2016 toyota camry. And I was looking for this info since my car hit the 100k miles. Finally i found your video. Thanks again!!!

Good job my friend I have camry 2012 I I will change my PCV soon 👍🏻thanks for the video god bless you 🙏

This was a very thorough and clear video for the PCV valve in particular. Thanks a bunch, have a sub!

Very good video. Thanks, very helpful.

Thanks for camry 2.5 pcv valve change tip!! It is most suitable tip out of you tube footage !! I will try my 2010 camry 2.5l engine today !!!! My car mileage 193k km. It is time to change pcv valve. Oil consumption little bit

Excellent video and i will also change pcv valve for 2014 Rav4 with 165,000 km

Excellent documentation sir!

My daughter's RAV4 has the same mileage on it. No oil burning issues yet. I change the oil every 3k miles.

A deepwell regular socket (not impact) + swivel and 4" or 6" extension makes it easier to access

Excellent video thank you a new subscriber

Just did this myself. The hardest part for me was getting the hose off. After that everything went smooth.

Nice video! I need to get that medium length 19mm socket.

Hello sir, I have a 2016 Rav 4 recently I found my oil was so low below the last dot on the scale hope I didn’t damage anything. Changing PCV value help not burning oil. Also does the car show warning sign when the oil is low. When u add oil u can use any brand oil with same number? Please advise. Thank you so much.

Excellent video. I have an oil consumption issue with2012 rav4 2arfe engine. I do not see oil any where on driveway/ under car. Do you think it is a pcv valve issue? That valve is in a meesed up place!

Very helpful Sir! Loving it! But would you please make a video of the process of taking out the plastic cover and cable sensor which is out of the way in order to reach into the pcv valve.

Last oil change had about 3qts left. Where's the rest of it? Is it burning it or leaking somewhere. My air filter was a little dirty but no trace of oil. I'll try changing out the PCV next. Thanks for showing the way.

I have a 2017 Highlander with the I4 and it's located under the engine valve cover too. Ouch. 850 from the dealer. I wonder if I can take off the right front tire too and go that way. it's not bad but 85k so I want to replace it after my 2017 Honda CRV started to burn oil, 40k, and replaced the pcv valve...5 minute job..wham...no more burning oil...good video!

This was great I saw a guy took the manifold out to get there.

Hoping its the same procedure on my 2010 2.5 camry, this looked tricky but a lot easier then pulling the intake and all the other crap off.

These engines have been in use on Toyota Camry since 2010. I have a 2011 Camry with the same engine. It was burning oil. I changed the PCV and I didn't notice any change. I was changing the oil at an interval of 6k. I switched between 3500 and 4000 miles, then I noticed a difference. I believe that the whole thing happened because the dealership in the past was changing the oil every 8 to 10k. For NYC that is too long.

Very helpful thank you, my 2012 Camry is burning oil, my car is at 200,000 miles was wondering 💭 if it’s worth doing any work on it. My Camry doesn’t have any other issues

Does the PCV valve shouldnbe change every certain amount of years?

Hello sir, thank you for the information. I have a question. When you replace the valve. Did the check engine light turn on?

Do You have a link for the wrench 🔧 you used in the video?

Toyota, why? Why you got to make a simple thing harder? On second note, thank you for the detail explanation and instruction.

Is it necessary to use hose clamps? Or its tight enough without it. I had a shop replace the pcv valve and a new pcv hose and they said that clamps or not needed and just plugged it on the valve. Now worried about a possible leak.

Thank you sir.

Did you shake the old PCV Valve to see if it was still good or not? You are right, it is important to replace these and most vehicles are easy to replace. What was Toyota thinking on this one?

Haynes Illustration for you guys! *PCV vavle: **ibb.co/xXZBB64** Intake Removal and install: **ibb.co/2ycHTQ8* Note: This method is more time consuming and you have to Release to Fuel Pressure: 1 Remove the fuel filler cap - this will relieve any pressure built up in the tank. 2 Remove the center console box (see Chapter 11, Section 22 ). 3 Locate the fuel pump/sending unit electrical connector and unplug it (the harness will exit through a grommet in the vehicle's floor). 4 Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops (it should only run for a few seconds, or it might not even start). Turn the ignition switch Off and disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery before working on the fuel system (see Chapter 5 ). 5 The fuel system pressure is now relieved. Place a shop rag around any fitting to be disconnected to catch the residual fuel as it bleeds off. Dispose of the fuel soaked rag in an approved safety container. 6 When you’re finished working on the fuel system, reconnect the fuel pump/sending unit harness connector and connect the negative cable to the battery. 7 Performing this procedure may cause a Diagnostic Trouble Code to set (fuel system too lean). If this happens, refer to Chapter 6 and erase the trouble code.

They fixed the piston rings in the 2.4L that’s why they introduced the 2.5L

How long was your socket? Also, what size socket for Sienna 2015? Good video, brother.

Very helpful video, thank you for taking the time and effort in putting it together. I’ll probably tackle this in my next brake job. Is the disconnected hose that’s shown at the 4:00 mark for the PCV valve? I can’t believe Toyota put this valve in the engine’s ass when it should be on the head.

Great location for pcv valve! 😠 More $$$ for Toyota. Good video. 👍

Awesome video! Just wondering if there is a video on how to replace the hose itself?

Use a longer extension and you can turn the ratchet outside of the wheel well if you wanted. 😉

Excellent workup. I had the chance to do this on a 2014 RAV ARFE. Your video was excellent in identifying location, problems and hardware required. Let me add this. It took me 4 hours because I could not get the valve back in the engine thread. You can see the hole(?) in the engine where the PCV goes if you shine a light just right. I finally discovered this technique: lie down with back on ground and feet pointing forwards. snake your left hand carrying pcv into area of "hole and get a feel for it with your pinky. Once you are sure you know where the thread is use your other fingers to put pcv into slot and try to get some turns into thread. I was able to get quite a few turns into albeit a few degrees at a time. Once it is secure, you can use the socket and ratchet Will need same socket and ratchet as shown by poster. Got my socket at home depot

I have a question. Is this also located at the bottom on a 2013 Scion tC? I’m looking for that valve but I can’t find it under the hood.

Great job. I have a 2010 Camry that I'm going to try this on. FYI, on the 2.4 Toyota wouldn't commit to a Recall. They issued a service bulletin that involved them changing your oil, sealing your dipstick, then checking the level after 1000 miles. They had a chart that would determine if they would replace the rings or not. I think Toyotas are great, but the ring issue is disappointing.

I have the exact same problem with my Camry! Keep us posted if it solved it!

Please keep us posted and let us know if this solved the oil consumption

Did oil consumption made you change pcv? I got a 2012 venza 4cyl. And oil goes down about 1qt or 2quite quick.

Did you have any idle/performance issues with the old valve or just oil consumption?

My pcv valve broke off with a peace it screws on into. What do I need to replace. The intake manifold? The block? Or the valve cover? Please help

So did this fix your oil consumption issue? My 2013 has 190k mi on it and based on where the PCV valve is located, its probably never been done by previous owners. My idle is a little rough, hoping this helps smooth it out.

I have a 2014 160k miles should I replace just the pcv valve or the pcv valve hose also?

Do you use thread sealant for the PCV valve?If do what type of sealant?

Thank you for showing us how to replace the pcv valve on this 2ar-fe engine, what was Toyota thinking on this one? And, did that fixed the oil consumption issue?

Very helpful

You're a pro mechanic or DIY ? I want to ask what could happen when oil gets into intake manifold ? I've found some oil on intake manifold . Mechanic friend said that I should check to see if any oil is getting in . I don't know how can I check that all I know is some oil gets on the outside of manifold . Still car is running great

Did your Camry burn oil? My nephews Camry 2004 was burning oil and after replacing PCV it stopped burning oil.

Wouldn't installing an oil catch can save your catalytic ? If you find a good quality one let us know.

Did replacing the pcv valve fix the oil consumption issue?

Большое спасибо за видео

That’s why they sale extentions for sockets

Oh wow! No wonder the dealership is asking me $400 plus to get it replaced for a $15-$20 part. Thank you for sharing. Can you tell me if you had to torque it or just hand tight??

Boa tarde Vc está localizado onde? Qual o endereço? Obrigada Tenha uma boa tarde

What is the brand of that medium depth 19mm socket?

Did it work? How is oil consumption after it's done?

it took 3 hours. the pain also putting it in the same thread which I couldn't see. Difficulty 10/10 How did you manage to screw it in. I had to use a snake scope to see the gold thread.

Thank you Sir. That makes you wonder WHY toyota put the pcv valve in such difficult place for us. Shame shame shame.

Is this the same for a 2011 Toyota Camry?

Are you a mechanic or DIY ? A mechanic told me there are signs that your pcv valve is bad like high idling , oil leaks and air leaks . Are these signs a fool proof sure way to tell if pcv valve is bad ? I've got oil leaks btt not the other signs . Major pain to replace mine . I've got to take off imtake manifol and a few other things or pay a shop . 11 Camry 2ARFE 2.5 L It's right by the intake manifold and HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING PUMP . DO I NEED TO REPL:ACE IT ?

Did the PCV ever solve oil consumption on it?

Has oil flow changed after valve replacement?

Did this solve the oil usage issue?

How much did u burn after the next oil change

👍👍

It may be leaking from the valve cover. The only known common issue with this motor. Check the spark plugs for oil

OK I have to ask, did this fix her issue with oil burning ?

Geez mine is 11 LE 2.5 L 2ARFE engine but somehow it's verrry different in that has power steering pump in the way right where your hand is at 3:43 . It is just on the side . See this other video where he has to take off much more parts and much more work . Either need to take the pump off or intake manifold ..

Dear friend. Take a weekend break to get away from the bustle of the city))))) On Monday, tell us about oil consumption)))))

Is the PVC Location for Toyota Camry 2011 2.5L Same ??

has something changed? has the oil consumption dropped?

👍💪

Yes my Rav4 2013 is losing oil as well @100k. Guessing this it, as no smoke nor leaks never....

So what year is this car?

Yes my moms 2016 Camry is also burning oil, I don’t know what happen to Toyota Reliability.

How long does it take

Did you get the issue fix ?

I highly doubt it that the PC valve is a culprit. The problem is related to rings - I have a same engine and the issue started around 60,000 miles. Toyota should recall this engine too, but allowed the owners to suffer the expense of fixing the engine. (I think they only went to 2009 with the recall).

what was the issue with the car?

I know this video is 2 years old but there is another reason Toyota engines are consuming oil. The 10K mile interval for oil changes are damaging the piston oil rings. Sludge builds up and clogs the rings and lets oil pass by (for a simple explanation). Do not go by the 10k oil changes, do 5k like most other engines. Damage on used vehicles that used the 10k recommendation for years may be irrreversible and require new engine or expensive repairs.

Oh true

Did it help?

I think you skipped a vital part. How did you get that stubborn hose off of the PCV valve lol? I'm having trouble. Edit: Got it and done lol

why you didn't show how the hose was removed ( good job ).

Finally, I found the time to replace the PCV on 2013 Camry SE 2.5L. I got the PCV out, but the new (or old) doesn't want to screw back in. How did you get the new PCV initially threaded? Did you just use hand to tighten few turns? I've tried couple dozen time using hands, and in socket with extension, but the new PCV doesn't want to start threading in.

Your power steering pump is missing . I couldn’t access my Pcv valve due to my power steering pump was in the way. Otherwise great video .
