nothing wrong with showing the parts guy your VIN number but, I doubt there's much chance for confusion on a PCV valve.

   You got it. Why do they always ask for the vin # when I go to the parts counter to buy parts. I don’t get it. 

  Also what size socket is needed for the 2011 Subaru Forester PCV valve.

  Thanks

The VIN is used to identify the correct parts for your vehicle. It’s an awesome system to use! 

You can use it to look up part numbers etc from online sites too

yeah, you could dig around at www.opposedforces.com - probably find a diagram too.

GD already told you on the last page what socket to use...

19mm deep 3/8" socket typically. Long extension. It's very simple. 

GD

he sure did...

Ok. So it’s a 19mm socket for the pcv valve.
