recommend replacing with the PCV Valve as well

Fit perfectly in a 2002 Toyota Tacoma 3.4L V6, recommend replacing with the PCV Valve as well. Just be extremely careful when trying to remove the grommet as it most likely will break into small rubber pieces when trying to remove from the hole in engine. Recommend using a small locking forceps to hold onto the grommet, a small needle nose pliers and flat nose screw driver to wiggle and break the grommet. Using the locking forceps will prevent it from falling into the hole as you use the pliers and screw driver in your other hands. If needed, a small scissors or knife to cut the grommet, then pull out with the forceps.

Dropped in and worked fine for 2001 Toyota Solara with V6 (1MZ-FE) Engine.

Not much to be said. It is a simple part. The dimensions worked fine the the replacement Fram PCV valve that I ordered. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C33LK6 Both of these parts were used on a 2001 Toyota Solara V6 (1MZ-FE engine). A few notes regarding installation: I'd recommend doing this replacement during a valve cover gasket replacement or other similar work. Trying to change out this part, with a transverse mounted V6, with the valve covers still on the engine, requires a masochistic level of automotive maintenance dedication. If doing a replacement with the valve covers still on the engine block, the old unit will most likely fall apart and pieces might drop down into engine. There is a set of internal baffles that should keep most of the material close to the installation hole. In situations like this (for other cars), I've been able to use a vacuum cleaner nozzle to draw the parts up where I could get at them with some needle nose pliers. I've talked to some mechanics who have told me it is not too bad if the old pieces of rubber fall in, as they will break down over time and be caught by the oil filter.

Lube the hell out of it

If you have an NB Miata (99-05), you will end up needing this. Over time, extreme heat cycles will harden and dry out your current grommet. And the day you replace your valve cover gasket, this little bugger will crack and break into pieces. And some of those pieces will fall into the valve cover. /And/ if you're lucky enough, you'll have the pleasure of removing the cover off AGAIN because it broke when you inserted the pcv after everything was bolted back on. So if you plan on replacing your valve cover gasket, it's good practice to replace this grommet as well. But if you're reading this, you already learned the hard way.

I plan to replace PCV valve and grommet every 15,000 miles from now on

The old grommet had become brittle and hard. The hole had become enlarged and it was leaking oil vapors, staining the valve cover immediately around it. After removing the old dirty PCV valve I tried to remove the grommet carefully, prying with putty knife and lifting, but a curved section fell down into my valve cover. Luckily for me, I had planned to remove the valve cover to replace it's seals, so the gasket fragment fell out easily when I turned the cover upside down ... I had waited too long to change this grommet and valve, I suspect about 40,000 miles, now I know. This grommet and valve gets hot, and sooty-oily-gum bakes dirt inside. Traditional periodic inspection and cleaning with carb cleaner spray might inadvertently loosen the valves tight fit into the fragile grommet, or weaken the grommet ... From now on I plan to simply change the PCV valve and grommet about every 15,000 miles or 2 years, absolutely no longer interval than that. I take frequent but short trips, hard on a car and it's oil. The combo is relatively cheap ~$10 here at Amazon, compared to many other maintenance items. A poorly vented crankcase, seems to me, can cause overpressure and a strain on gaskets and seals, oil to be pushed upward into piston rings, crud and varnish to form in the engine ... and removing a brittle old gasket can drop a piece inside your valve cover ... like mine did. Prone to sludge and varnish forming, I feel that such Toyota engines need good crankcase ventilation, and might be bad about gunking up PCV valves and valve covers. I found the Beck Arnley grommet to be firm like hard ebony rubber as you see, almost like softened hard plastic, looking identical in shape to the old one. This brand costs more than some of the others and gets high ratings here, so I selected it for my '98 Camry 2.2L 4-cyl which has 165,000 miles. It fit very tightly on both inside and outer surfaces, so like many here I chose to lube it generously with fresh motor oil, being obviously compatible. Of course I carefully inserted the seemingly oversize gasket first, a very snug fit, then wedged the new (Fram) PCV valve into it with pressure and slight twisting. I even replaced the old brittle and cracking PCV hose with about 3" of new 8mm silicone hose, and painted the valve cover with gray Plasti-Kote engine enamel ... now perhaps the valve cover assembly's even better than new, overlooking all else around it!

Not bad for 5 bucks!

I will definitely recommend replacing this once in a while. My 2000 Toyota 4Runner with the 2.7L has 334k miles and when I did the valve cover gasket I thought about replacing the pcv since it's right there and when I got it it the grommet was toasted and it fell down into the hole. Good thing I had remove the valve lol Will see how long it will take to replace this again!

Fits 98 Corolla oem

Often overlooked basic maintenance item. Fit perfectly on a 98 Corolla. As it had ~250,000 miles and the original appeared to be the original, the original boot virtually crumbled so make sure you get and replace the boot along with the valve every time to avoid nearly dropping into the case when pulling it out. The new boot and its soft rubber should be supple for years to come so looking as it isn't left 20+ years like the one I took out.

Fit just Like the OEM

Perfect fit. Be careful when replacing these grommets. My old one was so hard and brittle that it fell inside. They are super hard to pull out. Take your time and it should go easy. I was able to fish mine out, but it took me a half and hour. Otherwise, it’s an easy job. My original one lasted 120,000 miles.

I thought everyone was talking about the other Gromit.

1991 Lexus LS400 - My Shadetree Mechanic advised me to get this along with the Beck Arnley 045-0291 PCV Valve. Me: Sooo, David you want me to buy a claymation dog so you can put it in my car? David: No, you fool, the rubber type ring that fits with the valve! Me: Oooh! Okay, that kinda makes more sense. I recommend this part for your 1st Generation Lexus.

Patience and a little grease...

As some others have pointed out this was not an easy replacement of the old worn out grommet. A pair of long nose pliers and a flat head screw driver helped a lot, however. This was installed along with a new PCV valve, and I used a little vaseline to grease it into the new grommet after removing and replacing the old one in my '03 Mazda Protege5. For getting my hands dirty...it is "cooling runnings" and no more worries.

Excellent replacement

The old grommet was hardened and oil was blowing past the edge and around the PCV valve. The old one was difficult to remove and came out in pieces. This replacement was tight and took significant pressure to insert but that should keep it sealed.
