The Mazda CX-5 PCV Valve ensures that the engine of the popular crossover runs freely by pumping crankcase gases recycled back into the combustion cycle, a nearly minimal action that increases power and reduces sludge and fumes. This palm-sized piece is constructed on a rough spring and pintle that instantly respond to the change in engine vacuum and nearly close up at idle, before opening wide when you step on the throttle, such that blow-by does not pressurize the crankcase and the air-fuel mix is kept perfectly balanced. The drivers love the fact that it has had an excellent history of being reliable since the Mazda housing is made of materials that resist corrosion and the moving parts are exposed to filtered vapors, hence the break-even periods are very long and predictable. The identical part fits all CX-5 models since the 2012 KE release to the present KF series of Mazda with or without 2.0-liter, 2.5-liter, or turbo powertrains without guesswork on the part of owners making replacement purchases. The PCV Valve also allows the sealing rings of the piston to be tighter, which translates to accelerating more smoothly and a definable amount of fuel saved on a daily commute. There is also better control of emissions as the unburned hydrocarbons are reburned instead of released to the atmosphere, which results in the vehicle meeting the strict conditions without the need for cumbersome add-ons. It can be easily accessed within the cylinder head at the top with a quarter turn and thus even a layman can check on the health of the engine without any specialized tools and do the task in five minutes in the comfort of their homes. Another safety advantage is its flame-arresting design that prevents intake backfire from racing into the crankcase, damaging the engine oil as well as the sensors near the case. Since Mazda opted to use one vacuum-modulated design rather than multiple elaborate designs, the costs remain low and longevity remains high, which serves to build the reputation of the brand of a car that will work long after the high-mileage indicator reaches maximum. Routine clogging checks mean the PCV Valve will remain employed in ensuring safety, efficiency and low emissions as well as the responsive drive feel that makes the CX-5 stand out in its category.
