MVS Forum member and beloved contributor CN90 hit another DIY out of the park with his better-than-OEM modification to the P80 Volvo’s PCV crankcase venting system.
If you have positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) bogging down your ride indicated by oil blow-by on your oil filler hose or smoke coming from your dipstick tube, now is the time to replace or at least clean your PCV system. Without proper maintenance, you could be damaging your engine seals without knowing it.
