Saving Pennies with a Honda PCV Valve

March 14, 2008

With household expenses and product prices going up every so often, it is important to save every penny that you possibly can. House, electricity, and car maintenance bills must be minimized. One of the most expensive household bills may just be allotted for your car’s fuel. This is why it is important that your car is capable of efficient gas mileage. That’s what PCV valves are for. Most Honda car owners may not have heard of an auto part called the PCV valve, but it doesn’t mean that it is not essential. The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve primarily optimizes your vehicle’s fuel economy. A Honda PCV valve effectively increases engine output. And with gas prices skyrocketing every other week, minimizing gas expenses is a must.

Your Honda PCV Valve is one of your vehicle’s oldest emission components and it remains to be one of the most beneficial to your car. Simply put, a Honda PCV valve recycles crankcase emissions, therefore improving your car’s gas mileage. It reprocesses fuel that could still be of use to the engine. Also, PCV valves get rid of moisture, which is the cause of sludge formation at the walls of stock emission gas tubing. Because of the harsh environment surrounding the PCV valve, it is subjected to a lot of heat. This often causes premature wear and tear. Eventually the PCV valve would have to be replaced. If you do not replace a broken PCV valve immediately, it could cause concentrated hydrocarbons, water vapor, and carbon dioxide to form. This inevitably results to sludge, which would ultimately contribute to engine damage.

However, you will be surprised to know that despite all its important functions, the Honda PCV Valve requires not much maintenance. You only need to replace a PCV valve after every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, and then it’s all set to function as good as new. Need a Honda PCV valve replacement?
