If the PCV system fails, severe sludge buildup and oil leaks can occur. I've had to add 2-3 quarts of oil between oil changes depending on the type of driving i.e. more for highway; less for city. A malfunctioning PCV system is nocuous because you won't know there's a problem until it's to late. NO oil puddles NO nothing! So get in the habit of checking the dip stick to keep engine oil at the proper levels to avoid MAJOR damage to the engine! THE OIL WARNING LIGHT IS WORTHLESS!
I'd like to ask the Ford engineer who designed this Rube Goldberg why he placed the PCV valve underneath the intake manifold!? You have to remove the intake manifold to replace a lousy $15.00 plastic valve? Doh! Here's why a Ford dealership will charge you 2.5 hours labor to do the work!
I wonder how many Escape owners have blown their engines because of a faulty $15.00 valve? The sad thing is they probably didn't even know it and Ford sure the hell ain't gonna tell them.
Nice Racket!
