2020-2023 Ford Explorer 3.3 Hybrid PCV Valve Vapor Separator Hose

The L1MZ-9D289-B PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) Valve Vapor Separator Hose is a crucial component designed for the 2020-2023 Ford Explorer 3.3 Hybrid. The role of this OEM part is to guide the flow of crankcase gases, ensuring they are properly rerouted into the combustion process rather than being expelled into the atmosphere, thus aiding in your vehicle's emissions control. Moreover, it effectively prevents oil from being carried along with these gases and maintains optimum pressure within the crankcase. This separator hose is an ideal replacement if the existing hose in your vehicle is cracked, damaged, or deteriorated, causing potential oil leaks or other performance issues.

This part is a brand new, genuine product in the original manufacturer's packaging. It isn't an aftermarket product, but a genuine part identical to what is sold at a new car dealership.
