I guess that raises another question...

4. How am I to know whether or not the PCV valve is working?

The guys that told me it was "probably clogged" said so based on there being oil in the air filter compartment. Is there another way of telling without actually removing the filter and inspecting it?

I am using a fully synthetic oil, Mobile 1. I don't know whether or not it is paraffin based.

And yes, it was $5 ($30 was to have them fix it).

Thanks for the info
