PCV valve location in Genesis Sedan 2012 3.8??

[Pavel42b]

Been a headache, have 100k miles, decided to replace PCV valve, bought at a dealer $20. Now just need to find it lol

It is located on the RH (passenger side) valve cover, under the upper intake manifold/surge box. If you remove the air tube you may be able to get to it but I would suggest removing the upper plenum for ease of access.

Mine was done by the dealer at 75K miles. Currently at almost 241K miles so it's probably due again.

She runs now better than new. Thanks to some wizards and brilliant minds here on the forum I've been adding Techron during every other fueling and am maintaining 27-28 mpg city highway driving. On long trips am still averaging 31-34 mpg staying under 80 mph while loaded with the A/C running.
