During a recent tune up I changed the PCV valve. Here is what I found; the original valve is on the top. No guts, no valve. The OEM Honda one is on the bottom and is shown as the correct part number for my VIN both online and at the dealership.




I bought the car with 224K miles on the odometer and as far as I know the PCV valve was original. I did put in a OEM Honda PCV valve, but I saved the "old" one just in case.
