I was thinking to replace my Base integra DC5 PCV valve, the part i see online is 17mm valve but in my car the valve looks funny, it is round and looks different than the part number “17130-PND-A01”.

Anyone got any clue?

My car gets pretty bad gas mileage too. I have new air filter, new spark plugs , new battery, new PCV valve, new clutch , engine and trans fluid, I’ve done multiple chevron fuel treatments. Valve adjustment. Only 111k miles . What else can it be ? Fuel filter? O2 sensor going bad? Idk but at very best I’m getting roughly 21 mpg with 80% freeway driving and literally shifting on recommenced shift points of 3kish , coasting as much as possible. CAI , ITR exhausts manifold and Q300 exhaust. Hondata reflash for I/E.

get MAF sensor cleaner from Autozone or advance auto parts in spray can. remove the MAF sensor then spray it on sensor.
You can use same cleaner on throttle body. First, remove intake hose, spray it inside throttle body, use tooth brush and microfiber towel to remove any gunk. These tasks are relatively easy and should take about 30 mins most

Mine has the same PCV that yours does.....I wouldn't see why you would want to replace it.

I have no clue how you get 21mpg in this car. I'm averaging about 26-27 with slightly wider wheels and tires. I was getting 28-29 before I put on the aftermarket wheels and tires. One thing I would recommend, is removing the throttle body and cleaning the IACV. I use fuel injector and fuel system cleaners all the time.....but the gunk that built up on there will not just fall off on its own. I had to grab an old toothbrush, some carb cleaner, and I would spray it down, scrub it, spray some more, etc. I did notice better mileage right after I did that.
