2012 3.6 PCV Valve Aftermarket Advice

[alkot]

On a 2012 DJ STX 3.6 V6 STX model.

I bought a no-brand PCV and I would like to receive some advice on this valve functioning.

I had an idea that the valve should not allow the passage of the gasses backward to the crank case . I understand there are few ways of testing the valve functioning during engine running time. Having the valve is interesting for me if it is working correctly before I start taking things apart.

I am talking about the Balloon Test found on YT sides where a different Valve from a Japanese brand is being tested.

Here is the link to it

Here is the link to my short Test video with my new valve:

I would get the valve from Mopar but I can find it in this area of Southern Ontario,  Canada.

In advance, I much appreciate all your thoughts.  

Thanks,

I like to use oem when I can and price is only 15-20% more. Usually guaranteed fit and slightly better quality.

 

Rockauto sells lots of oem stuff and decent price,  Mopar was out of stock so I bought the Dorman item.

 
My egr was already allowing oil residue to leak on side of engine. But no codes were showing up, around 180k kms. Changed it last year and haven’t had any issues.

Its a rotary style valve so kinda unusual design, not like the static one in the utube video.  Probably more prone to wearing out. . It’s driven by cam shaft. Not hard to change really. 
 

Lots of on line sites, can pick up at a dealer and save 30%.

Thanks for the information.

"Its a rotary style valve. It’s driven by cam shaft."

Would you explain it more about how the camshaft drive the valve? it is by pressure?

Really appreciate it learning.

Thanks as well for the links, I am adding them to my favourites.
