2015 6.2L PCV location?
I clicked over 25,000 miles on my '15 F250 this morning. Since I will be changing the oil and rotating the tires this weekend anyway, I was considering changing the PCV valve for good measure.
I haven't had a chance to look it over yet but, Has anyone changed the PCV valve in their 6.2L yet? Are they hard to get to or are there any tricks to it?
Also, are there any greaseable points in the chassis or drive train that I should hit while I have the chance before winter?

I have the new pcv valve but can't get the old one out of the valve cover.

I can get the hose unclipped from it but, I can't get the two tangs (or retaining clips - not sure what to call them) to release from the valve cover.
I can get some pics of the new pcv valve tomorrow if that will help.

Here are the pics of the pcv location. Let's see if this works, my phone is acting up.
PCV location on my driver side valve cover
Here is the new PCV. Note the locking tabs at the bottom. Once it twists in to the valve cover they lock in place. I cant figure out how to get my old one out

Just wondering... why would you replace a factory installed part with a rock auto piece if there wasn't a problem?

It is actually a motorcraft part. I just so happened to get it from rock auto. I have been in the habbit of changing my pcv every 30,000 miles for a while.

You may want to check out this link: 2015 Ford F-250 PCV System & Breather Parts ? CARiD.com. The PCV for the 2015 in this link looks nothing like the one you purchased.

That is the same schematic I see at White Bear Lake (formerly Tousley Ford). They have always steered me right so I would assume you have the correct part. I looked at my truck, if you pull the hose off, it looks like there is a hexagonal plastic nut attached to the PCV valve with some sort of locking mechanism on it. I'm curious if there is a tool that Ford uses to remove it? I would definitely stay away from using a screwdriver or chisel to remove it, our valve covers are a polymer composite and they do not like being pried on. I will keep looking and hopefully we can find a solution.

PCV Replacement
Just take an open end wrench, slide it onto the flats, and turn it counter-clockwise. It will come right out. It's the same style valve that is used on Crown Victorias, and I have never had that tab break off. I used to own a service station (Sold it 5 months ago and retired) and had a NYC Taxicab that I serviced. I would remove and clean that valve every other oil change.
