so i called the nissan dealership to ask if they had any pcv valves available today and they told me they could order them for 10 dollars a piece, then i got a little turded about it because at courtesy nissan they're only 8, then i decided to look elsewhere for it and they came up at auto zone for 2.50 a piece, and if im not istaken, that's 15 dollars in my pocket. Has anyone ever dealt with any parts from auto zone and are they reliable or would i be better off with courtesy?

 

I'd say stick with Courtesynissan cause it may be a little bit more expensive but the quality of the part itself will most likely be better and never forget about the longrun.

 

IMHO, keep the $15 in your pocket. If you change your pcv's & similar components every few years, you'll never know the quality difference.

 

I used Fram PCV valves. They were a couple bucks at Kragen. They work just fine. FYI. Replace the PCV hoses too. You will not be able to remove the PCV valves without cutting the hoses.

 

If youv got alot of money to waste on the car go ahead and get the OEM ones, but if not stick with Autozone.

 

The ones from autozone and such have weaker springs and will not work as well.

 

Oh well, spend the extra now or spend it later, its going to end up to cost you one way or the other.
