I've read online conflicting reports on OEM vs aftermarket PCV's with many reporting bad experiences with these "mass application" PCV's.
I've been using an aftermarket Purolator PCV for about a year now so today I tried a little experiment in my 99 Corolla,OEM vs aftermarket.
I didn't change the original factory PCV until last year as it seemed to operate just fine.It's an original Toyota part made out of a half metal half plastic enclosure.
I just cleaned it up and threw it in the glove box until today.
There seems to be more free play inside of the Toyota unit vs the Purolator unit as far as what you can hear and "feel".
The Purolator unit seems almost like it takes a tiny tad more pressure the depress the the inlet vs the Toyota unit overall.The Purolator has an all plastic casing and is speced part number(PV1064) wise for only this application(1.8L 1ZZ-FE).
The Purolator was not clogged or really oily when I removed it to reinstall the original cleaned up Toyota PCV.
I don't know if it's just me but the car did seem to drive better with the Toyota unit reinstalled.
Any similar experiences guys?
