PCV Valve Replacement - 2007 Lexus IS 350

[@nordicpride9708]

To anyone watching this, ONLY use Toyota OEM PCV valves. Using aftermarket valves causes issues on most brands, but in my experience Toyota/Lexus seem to be more sensitive. These are only $10 at the dealer

[@mel23jordan]

Been looking into getting a 2IS 350 and you really made me sure I want one. Keep the great vids up ! Glad to see a Lexus vlogger since there’s barely any

[@joemonday4422]

Thanks for the tutorial video bro. BTW, I was able to use the 19mm wrench to remove it. Just need to move a few things out of the way.

[@Ariztid]

Any plans on installing an oil catch can? I'm debating on for 3IS.

[@charlesm.9858]

I did it bro!! Mahalo!! I broke the bit of the hose on the top but it holds but I did it!! Thanks so much for the Video!!

[@VictorRodriguez-nq9xc]

Was able to pull this off today, thanks to you maan .. was a little challenging but igot it !, I’m a new follower btw kind of bummed out that u don’t have your IS350 but your Lexus videos are helping me out with my 08 lexus is250 Ijust got

[@Trent-ertainment]

You need more recognition thank you!

[@jeffgrantIS350]

I tend to change mine every 30K miles. As you mentioned it's a peace of mind mantaince item.

[@MrAmirOlmos]

Hey brother; I like your videos and would like to see more uploads of how you replace and add your gauges and things to you Lexus.. I own a 07 IS250

[@rotrmotr]

Thanks Marty. Will be replacing mine as soon as it gets a little warmer 👍

[@viceshark]

Dude, I used your link and ordered the part. Swapped it out and my car is acting waaaaaaaaay better. I’m super grateful for your video and the link! 👊🏼

[@MartyMotoring]

Glad I could help!

[@is4life593]

Thanks Marty! I will be replacing mine... 107k. But my idle is a little rough at times. I will clean my throttle body also.

[@MrMusicweekly]

I was able to get it off with just a chrome socket and extension

[@gregrogers3998]

Deep socket, I'm assuming?

[@OMAR6575]

what size socket ?

[@Spoolnut]

Who would have thought it's the same part as the subaru one. Huh! Just bought an IS 350 for my daughter with a few miles and just doing a few refreshing, pcv came around and i was like I have a new one somewhere from my subaru stock parts and wala!!! Thanks for directions of where it's at

[@Beyondmeasurable]

Thank you my man!! I just saved money and did it myself because of you!! I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge!

[@Robsgv626]

This help me out a lot bro . Easy to install . Notice a change in my Lexus .

[@alexrelax78]

What exactly you notice? I want to change mine as well and see if will make it better

[@jayrivas5502]

How often should it changed out ?. appreciate if maybe you know how to replace the automatic day/night sensor.?.

Nice and simple like a honda. Thats encouraging.

Thanks, Marty for these useful videos. Please I would like to take youadvice regarding my Lexus issue I own 2008 IS300 120Km recently I got low engine oil light and during starting there is a little white smoke from the exhaust, I lost 3 liter of oil during one month (around 4000KM), thanks in advance.

[@carsplus6883]

If you're seeing white smoke, it probably means the rings are bad. You're gonna need new rings.

[@vammyhouse5206]

I’m having a similar issue with my 2006 is250. I’m losing a quart of oil every 350 miles. No smoke tho, or leaks. It’s a known issue with a recall, the rings are bad. I got the car used and can’t get the recall sadly.

[@youbube0040246]

Preview for that intake!

[@matthewmariscal6062]

my 07 IS350 is having issues idling rough any recommendations?

[@Blackntanxguy]

I bought the PVC from the dealer and it didn’t come with the top pink plastic part. Is it needed?

[@CarbonLexus]

You should install a oil catch can for help fighting carbon build up.

[@foreigner2017]

Hi Marty, thanks for the video. I just noticed mine valve wasn't tightened all the way down, so like 4 threads are visible. Should you tighten the valve like it was or is it better to tighten completely?

[@PutolevePetitliph]

Same question here

[@alexlitovchenko6121]

Hey marty! Question. Any issues you had that would make you think to replace the pcv valve or just a maintenance item because ofthe mileage? If youre finding some kimd of difference i should look into it too...

[@MartyMotoring]

Hey! I had a rough idle recently so I cleaned my throttle body and made a video as well. I figured this was an easy thing to replace as well and it has totally eliminated the rough idle now. Plus it was time with this mileage

[@N8Catona]

@@MartyMotoring have you cleaned your maf sensor too?

[@mikem5922]

So my replacement didn’t come with the little pink gasket. Which I find strange it wasn’t included as it came from the dealer. Can I reuse the old one?

[@thejam7129]

God damn Marty motor man. That thing was a bitch to replace but I got it done. Thanks for the video buddy

[@64-bitMicro]

Wow, it's done 260,000kms for our metric friends. Random question, have you ever changed the spark plugs, or fuel filter? I've just gone past 100,000kms and have no idea if the plugs have ever been changed, although they may have when the heads were off for the valve spring recall, but I have nothing that tells me if they have or not.

[@MartyMotoring]

I haven’t done fuel filter nor spark plugs yet. I should look into that!

[@is4life593]

No need for fuel filter change. It is inside fuel tank.

[@easydimez554]

What are the benefits of changing the PCV valve?

[@swervoOG]

Would this cause a CEL evap code? I have the code P0441, i did a smoke test and had a decent amount of smoke coming from the gas cap so I replaced it with oem. Cleared the code drove a bit and it came back on. I had 16 codes for EVAP so I changed my evap canister. Cleared the code and drove about 40 miles and it came back on. I havent scanned it again to see what it says but its throwing my CEL and ABS light. They both came on together when it first came on and still both are on. Ive heard of switching my Vacuum Switch Valve or Fuel Tank Pressure Censor or even just damaged hoses. I didn’t really think to check the hoses to my Evap canister but i checked the ones to my VSV and they seemed fine. Gonna check near the PCV valve and see if any of those are damaged but my 350 only has 87k miles. It’s kind of getting annoying replacing parts that aren’t fixing the problem lol

[@elnino1240]

I had that code + 2 more codes. And I found the problem last week.

[@sergioabloh4937]

How did i fix the code

[@coreblo77er]

My 2006 IS350 (220,000 km) has a timing cover leak that will cost $3,000 to fix. Apparently it's a common issue with the IS350. Right now I just add extra motor oil when the warning light comes on, which is what a lot of people do. Do you have this problem?

[@MartyMotoring]

I haven't had any leaks, but also haven't checked recently. I'll probably do that when I can get under a lift and make a video!

[@bezehrk7322]

my pcv valve came without the little purple rubber seal, should it still be okay?

[@jo3y1286]

Great vid! Did you put any thread glue on the valve?

[@MartyMotoring]

That's the one step I realized I forgot later...but it hasn't come out or anything!

[@jayc443]

Do you need to screw it all the way down I see mine seems to have a lot of thread still

[@nxvn350]

Check your dip stick to make sure, but early year 350s are notorious for burning oil unfortunately :/

[@seanclarke4061]

my 06 350 drank 3.3qts of oil in just 3k miles!!! I was shocked. Only 3k miles since I changed the oil and it was nearly empty. I guess PCV and cleaning intake throttle body can help improve this. It's normal thoigh according to the manual for it to consume that much oil lol.

[@myles428]

A plumber would use a basin wrench🤙🏻😉 that’s how I did mine! Lol

[@AJ88874]

How do u know if this part needs replacement? What symptoms will the car have

If you have rough idle, engine sludge or any kind of buildup from mileage, it may be time to change it

I have a 1997 Es 300 Lexus with the same code. It's the Evap purge valve/solenoid. I bought a Dorman brand that was made in China. The light came back on so I have to get the genuine Lexus part

[@oda2is982]

I owned a 06 is250 wich recently changed the spark plugs (6/10 difficulty job). After that (1or 2 days after) put gas in my car and VCS, Check engine and track off lights came on. I read that can be a loose gas cap or a vacum hose. Check for any loose hose but don't see any. Any ideas on that?

[@MartyMotoring]

Hm that’s strange. Might be bad gas? I’d get the code read off the OBD2 port and go from there. Sometimes octane booster in the tank can help and tighten the cap. See what happens

Noticed its using more oil than usual, any suggestions?
