The people at jiffy lube are either confused or clueless. The PCV valve is
located in the side of the breather box under the intake manifold. Either
way, confused or clueless, there are enough bad stories around about jiffy
lube that I would never recommend anyone go there, not even for an oil
change http://www.consumeraffairs.com/autom...jiffy_lube.htm. You are
probably better off finding a good independent shop in your area that
specializes in Hondas. You can contact the AAA, http://www.aaa.com, or the
BBB, http://www.bbb.com, to ask for recommendations in your area or you can
ask around on the net as well as asking family and friends. Please see
http://www.high-road.com for an example of a good independent shop.

By the way, the site Caroline referred to is
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com.
