My 850 hit 60k miles. In looking over the required service it states to change PCV valve. In perusing the forum I see mixed opinions about doing so. Is it really required and if so where the heck is it. Please advise. George

    PCV Valve is also called the flame trap. You don't have one
    if you have a turbo engine. This site has replacement, inspection,
    cleaning instructions which should answer the specific questions:

    You definitaly need to keep it clean. Replacing seems optional as long
    as you can clean it up (which is pretty easy).
