Where are the PCV valve and hose located on Lexus ES350?

The PCV valve and hose are located in the valve cover on all models except 2010 and later four-cylinder models. On 2010 and later four-cylinder models, the PCV valve and hose are located on the back side of the engine underneath the intake manifold. The intake manifold must be removed to replace the PCV valve or hose. Disconnect the hose, unscrew the PCV valve from the cover, then reconnect the hose. With the engine idling at normal operating temperature, place your finger over the valve opening. If there's no vacuum at the valve, check for a plugged hose or valve. Replace any plugged or deteriorated hoses. Turn off the engine. Remove the PCV valve from the hose. Blow through the valve from the valve cover (cylinder head) end. If air will not pass through the valve in this direction, replace it with a new one. When purchasing a replacement PCV valve, make sure it's for your particular vehicle and engine size. Compare the old valve with the new one to make sure they're the same.

Lexus ES350 PCV Valve

The Lexus ES350 PCV Valve ensures that harmful crankcase gases never linger around by redirecting those gases into the intake so that they burn clean, with less of an impact on the health of your engine and less of a negative impact on the air outside. Using manifold vacuum, the PCV Valve remains mostly closed when the sedan is idling but opens more widely as throttle demand increases, thereby matching blow-by volume flow without allowing the mixture to go too lean. This simple spring-loaded PCV Valve also limits the backfire from blasting into the crankcase, like a tiny one-way flame guard. Across model years, Lexus relied on a threaded metal body design that screws into the cylinder head cover, while later model ES350 editions adopted a snap-in plastic style, which reduces weight and facilitates quicker removal, but both have identical flow logic and are located opposite the breather port. In 2015, the ES350 received a refined PCV Valve, but the general task remained the same in all Lexus powerplants. Whether metal or plastic, each PCV Valve helps to reduce oil sludge, ensure ring sealing, and also helps to prevent the catalytic converter from having to do extra work, so that periodic inspection of every PCV Valve can help every Lexus driver keep an ES350 running smoothly and with fewer emissions.
