Subaru 60K Maintenance Parts
Hi Justin.
My outback is an 05′ and I dont believe the PCV valve has ever been changed nor did I think it was part of the regular servicing schedule. I ask because I think I saw you on here somewhere saying that an old PCV can be a source of “mystery” oil consumption. I’ve had my head gaskets done, I do not see smoke, no oil leaks, etc, but I had 2 qts every 100 mi (mountain pass driving). Should I give the PCV a try?
Thanks.

Hi Tyler,
It’s worth a shot, you can always inspect it to see if its stuck open.
It’s located back side top of the engine block (passenger side) look for a small hose off of the intake manifold down to a pipe fitting just off of the block.
Hope that helps
