Replacing PCV question

[Jeep_Riot]

2015 Subaru Crosstrek with 60K miles

Subaru manual calls for Three Bond 1324 or equivalent. I'm confused; the equivalent is coming up as either a thread locker or a high temp liquid gasket. What do I need for this application? The Subaru part number is coming up as no longer available (004403042).

Thanks!

PTFE thread sealant or Ultra Black/Ultra Grey RTV will work fine. I'd use Hylomar M...But thats me.

Should be able to just give that a solvent spray if there is some gum in there

. What is going to happen to a PCV vent in 60k miles?

It just an aperture with some having a spring and anti backfire pellet shuttle valve.

Do not use ANY RTV anywhere near a the intake plumbing on a modern car.

Teflon thread sealant is fine. Subaru NA part number for three bond 1324 is SOA868V9630

It's for the threaded portion of the valve, No different than using RTV to seal an engine cover or oil pan. Both RTV's I mentioned are "Sensor Safe"

Shouldnt require replacement in the first place.

Unless its "broken"

I'm going to be changing the front differential gear oil and will fill it up through the air breather tube (fill plugs are a [censored] to loosen). To do so I'm removing the air intake. It's a good time and cheap enough part to replace while I'm doing this. I see it as preventative maintenance, but better yet, it makes me feel good.
