2017 Subaru 3.6

[BISCUT]

I'm at about 80k. I'm pretty good with maintenance. I drained/filled front and rear diff at 25k. Will do again at 100k. I'm not doing plugs til 100k. I will do belt at 80k. I did radiator drain/fill at 60k will do again at 100k. I did a drain/fill of the CVT at 75k. My concern is the PCV system. I'm totally ignorant of the PCV on the 3.6.

Please advise on what to do with the PCV if anything. This will end up a keep til die or in an accident vehicle so preventative maintenance is the goal.

Why you do not do spark plugs at 80K if you are already doing belt?

Belt is easy. Plugs are a little work on this engine and I don't have any signs of needing to do the plugs at this time. My OIC is 10k miles after a slow break in. My average speed over 10k is about 44mph. 100k on the plugs should be a ok.

OK, just saying. I can see how spark plugs could be bit of work on flat 6.
I am not sure wether these engines have PCV issue, but since it is non-turbo I would guess you are walking in safe territory. Could be wrong.

Internal chain yes. External drive belt is what I'm talking. Not getting much on the PCV. Maybe I'm showing my age. SO many engines I've owned in the past the PCV was really a disaster if not kept up with. And often so easy a maintenance item.
