Prices among dealers vary widely. The one closest to me is way higher then the one 40 mins away. I've even tried to get the dealer close to me to match the price but they refused instead offered a 10% discount which in the end was still higher then the other dealer.

A new hose is quite pliable. As long as it doesn't crack/leak you can keep using the old (probably hard) hose.

Not to revive an old thread, but figured it was relevant to chime in on this. I've been fiddling with things under the hood lately and noticed a small oil/dirt/grime spot that circles around my PCV valve. As a result, I went ahead and ordered a new one, with new grommet AND new hose from Toyota. I won't be picking them up today but will tomorrow and intend to knock it out then. I last replaced mine in 2014? roughly around the 200K mark, and I'm almost to 301K right now. I'll report back and advise how things go with the replacement process. I pray there aren't any crumbly bits that fall down into the valve cover. Happened last time and was an absolute nightmare!

People always say this but there's a bit of sheet metal riveted to the underside of the valve cover that stops and pieces from falling in, is there not?

From what I recall, I think there is. But I still wouldn't want to just leave it in there, you know?

Still annoying to pick out with extra-thin needle-nose pliers.

To replace it put some brake fluid on the old rotten grommet. That will soften it up after a day or so. They you can remove it and change the grommet easily

I ended up replacing the valve, grommet AND the hose. Job went well, no major issues to report. The old grommet did in fact have to be removed in chunks, but I was careful and utilized needle nose pliers in addition to another sort of plier, and it ended up coming out nicely. Felt very rewarding when no crumbly bits fell down into the hole, too! The old hose was suuuuper hard and dry, so for all the parts it came in around $50 ish or so. Job took 20 minutes max. I can't post pics from my phone because the file is too large, but you can see them on my Instagram page if interested. I didn't use any sprays or other things to help with removing the old grommet, just good ol pliers. There was a bit of oil at both ends of the valve itself once it was removed, but the thing sounded fine when I shook it. No noticeable difference before/after, other than peace of mind.
