You absolutely have the latest PCV fix installed. That hasn't been an issue since 2004, me thinks. I'll check my '08 tomorrow for that empty spot and let you know if I have something there or not.

 

thanks, I appreciate that!

 

Someone replaced the top end of that dipstick tube with an older version. Technically you don't need this and can just plug up that nipple, not that it will change anything.

 

thank you

thank you jjthegreat!

 

You are missing the rest of the kit, you have the old lines with the new dip stick breather tube.. this is my kit the top left side that goes back inside should be connected to the dip stick and the bottom left side to the breather line from the cobra pipe and the top right is connected to the oil trap.

I have an 01 so it might be different but as far as i know you have the old lines but the new dip stick..

 

They redesigned the block in 2004 to fix the pcv sludge the motor issue. After that, the hookups to the dipstick tube weren't necessary.

 

The PCV update #6 was in 2006 but appears to have been written for earlier models. I'm having trouble finding clear information on what years it actually applies to.

 

As far as i know the block is the same from day one in 98 all the way to 09, that was my guess they did open up one of the holes in the oil trap in the new system and added an extra connection into the dip stick. It looks like the old lines are sitting there.. and the filter neck should be covered not open like that, seems like its missing but im not sure on the new models.

 

so much good information that is still misinformation. After 2006 these cars came from the factory with the latest PCV update so Yes, you do have the current PCV update...notice the hard lines that connect to the valve cover, thats a dead giveaway you have the current pcv update. On newer cars it came factory that way and the oil tube, does have the nipple on some cars but it is not open. you can check this by starting your car and putting your finger on it and you wont notice anything as its sealed.
