Didn't work for me. I tried several different types of zip ties, but they all snapped. I guess that PCV valve was really in there. 6 years old and never been changed. I finally got it out after 3 beers and some 45 degree pliers. Wasnt pretty, but it's done. Using a socket to drive the new one in worked awesome.

I replaced my valve today after reading thru this thread, I had to use the bolt, vise grips and screwdriver method, overall not too bad, this thread was a huge help. Seating the new valve with a socket was also very helpful. I used the NAPA part as it was cheaper, perfect fit. thanks to OP & all.

The zip tie trick eventually worked for me, although I broke quite a few ties. The old valve was actually a bit loose in the receptacle, which doesn't seem right to me. The new valve seems much tighter. I wonder if that is where the oil was going?

I have a 2010. Is the PCV valve a dealer only part or do the'10s not have one because the auto parts place by me doesn't even have a part number listing.

) 5.5yrs/61,000 miles. No oil consumption to speak of (average about 1/3-2/3 qt missing over 5-6k mile change intervals). Thanks, Ron!

I did an inspection on mine today as I have a bit of oil consumption. When I removed the hose I noticed the PCV valve was loose in the socket on the valve cover. The top of the valve was flush with the top of the socket
So as per OP I used a socket to "re seat" the PCV into the socket on the valve cover
It's now recessed in about a quarter inch.... Is this far enough? It felt right. No clicks or snaps when you push it home
Wonder if this loose PCV was the cause of the minor oil consumption?

I just did mine this morning. Here is the old valve.
It did cost me a new ignition coil and leads after a closer inspection.
All in all less than an hours work! Thanks to all who did the write ups. It made my project so much easier.

Source and cost? (If you don't mind me asking)
Are you planning to change the plugs, too?
