2013 Prius PCV Valve part advise.

I recently removed my PCV valve on my 2012, and it surely did take a 22mm deep socket. Close enough to 7/8" in case you don't have a 22mm deep. An open end wrench will work too. Even an adjustable wrench will. The torque required is not much, despite the size of the socket needed. Something like 29 Nm - but look it up yourself to check.

So I think it's a safe bet that when you get to the PCV on your car you'll find it as I describe here (matching what the tutorials probably say).

Not sure what part you got from Autozone. It might be that the threads will fit, so it truly is a valid replacement, but the socket size may be different. I've had that exact situation in different applications several times over the years when using aftermarket parts.

BTW, you're asking about a 2013, but your profile says you have a 2012. Should be the same answer for both.

 

I believe this is it if I'm not mistaken:

I would stick with the OEM Toyota part. They might fit physically, but have different internals, performance.

Safest to just pick it up from a dealership parts department: tell them you need the pcv valve for a such-and-such, and model year. Then you don't even need to know the part number; that's their job.

It's under $10 for the OEM.

I've had ours out a couple of times, shoot carb cleaner through it, apply a little Permatex 243 thread lock to the threads (mostly for cosmetic reasons, to avoid a slight oil-bloom), reinstall.

 

How many miles? Hang onto the old one for sure.

 

Wonder what ever happened with this, knowing what we know now.

 

How'd the PCV Valve change do to effect performance? I found sludge in my EGR and Intake EGR circuit and am like bummed I definitely have to now clean the EGR Valve and Cooler since that sludge crap isn't going to turn to powder like I would have prefered to find like in the donor intake and egr circuit parts.

 

I changed mine on my oil burner at like 180k. Didn't make a difference. But I have had good luck just ultrasonic cleaning them or boiling them and putting them back in. My Sequoia was sucking oil through the pcv valve when i first got it. Just cleaned it and it went back to normal. It was just stuck in one position though. The one on the prius was just a little sludgy.
