PVC Valve - OEM or ???
Just for the halibut I think I'll get a new PVC valve installed, since I don't know when it was last replaced, & one of Beav's comments goosed the idea. Anyway, an OEM valve is a whoppin' 10 bucks. My "do-it-all" mechanic next door uses a Fram valve. Does it make one iota of difference, or should I be SVX anal as usual?
Thanks, Ron.

I'm anal enough to get one from Ann Arbor Subaru when I replace the same part in the SVX in about a month.

I replaced mine with A/M (okay, it ain't stock, so sue me ) and it seems to be working perfectly.

They're a pretty simple device - I wouldn't be concerned. Plus I've been using aftermarket valves for years on everything and I seriously can't recall a single failure.

Thanks guys - I didn't feel like driving 10 miles out of my way for a Gen-u-ine Suby valve anyway, when Homer next door's got one. And, if the Stockboy/El Presidente can mentally handle it, so can I - plus I can sue him if it clogs prematurely. What a country!
Ron.

Sears sells the 19mm crow's foot individually. I think I paid $5-$7 for mine.
