So I called GM to see what they did on a 30K mile checkup and the tech told me they changed the oil, rotated the tires, changed the windshield blades and changed the PCV Valve. I asked if he was sure cause last time I checked the 2.0 doesnt have a PCV Valve to change... Well the tech said that if I bring the car down there he would show me where it was... So my question is, should I do it? Or should I just let him believe that we do have one? Your input is appreciated!!

 

Do you even know what a PCV valve is???? Well here ya go.

A crankcase ventilation system is used to consume crankcase vapors in the combustion process instead of venting them to atmosphere. Fresh air from the intake system is supplied to the crankcase, mixed with blow by gases and then passed through a calibrated orifice into the intake manifold. The primary control is through the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) orifice which meters the flow at a rate depending on inlet vacuum. The PCV orifice is an integral part of the camshaft cover. If abnormal operating conditions occur, the system is designed to allow excessive amounts of blow by gases to back flow through the crankcase vent into the intake system to be consumed by normal combustion.

And Yes you do have one.

 

Dang it! I hate it when I think I know something but I really dont... oh well, lesson learned. Thanks for the info.

 

I work at a Chrysler dealership and our cars get oil change, tire rotate, trans service and filter, air filter, PCV valve.

Im doing a fuel service on mine on sunday actually.

 

What chrysler dealer do you work at? LOF, ROTATE, Air filter, Fuel service, and drain and fill trans, damn gamebay, i thought you worked with Lou on fridays?

 

Every LOF? Thats bullshit. I wouldn't do that unless i was getting paid like .8 . Plus i would never work for chrysler

 

my dealership basically just told me that most of it is done at an oilchange anyway.
they did the few little extras on my oilchange for nothin, and i told them id do the rotations myself

 

Nah its in a 30k service and it pays like 3 hours. And I didnt care that I work for chrysler, it was a job when I needed one. And I like it so far. Also note that I drive a Chevy.

 

chryslers are easy to work on, wiring is routed well and engine bays are spacious except pt cruzer, durango, and new sebring/avenger v6's
