Hi guys, I need your help with changing the PCV

My raid is a 2012 V6 Camaro (2LT)

After long digging I located the problem the causing the oil lose
and why I always find a huge amount of it in the air filter hose ... it's a bad PCV

So I need your help guys to share a video or pictures that describe the right way to change the :

- Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV)
- Breather Tube

and I'll be grateful

It's legal in my country for sport cars to have the plate to by on the drivers side

so how does that v6 air conditioner work in Iraq? here in the states, with heat and humidity, if I am not set to "recirculate" it is mostly useless in 90+ degree days!

Actually it's doing very well, because our weather is hot but the humidity is low
this week the temperature average is 50C degree and it's doing well

DvKillar · 08-09-2017, 01:32 PM

You might want to get your AC system checked out/recharged. I run mine on recirc for only the first 5 minutes or so after the car has been sitting in 90+ sun and then turn the recirc off and it seems to do fine. Don't think I've ran the fan over 7, ever.

I'm in Florida and even after 5 years mine is ice cold on 90 plus days with high humidity. After a short while I have to turn my blower down and raise the temp from the coldest setting.

I live in Central Florida and August is our hottest month. My 2010 Twin Turbo Camaro will freeze you out and cause your eyes to burn. Have to turn the fan to medium after only a few miles. The coldest A/C I have ever experienced.

Elite E2 catch cans are the only way to fly. Catches the oil and a very dry intake.
