PVC valve routine?

You know I am at 95K miles, I've done the plugs, transmission fluid, coolant, and oil, belt, air filter religiously over the last almost 100,000 miles , but I haven't given much thought to other items that I used to swap out on my previous vehicle, like the PVC valve and the fuel filter. Now I know the fuel filter is located in the gas tank I believe its probably not something the faint of heart would tackle, but what about the PVC valve, should that have required my attention or is there anything else under the hood that is not a fluid that may be worth just peering at? I got the air filter and belt replaced already... I guess I have felt I have done my maintenance so well that I feel I am overlooking something. My car has been great to me... Ron

brakes? seems like you covered most of the wearable parts... the pcv valve can be cleaned with carb cleaner, or replaced for <$10

wow, no need for everyone to blow up. I thought his comment and link suggestion were plenty appropriate. If you DO use the search, you get alot more info that has already been covered.

you didnt mention brake fluid. if you havent done it already, change it. every 3 years or 30k should be good if you dont race the car.
