The pcv should be replaced as part of the tune up you did. I recommend checking and cleaning/replacing it every 15K. Replacing it every 30K. It vents crankcase gasses back into the intake. If it clogs, the combustion gasses build up in the crankcase resulting in premature deterioration of engine oil and possible sludge build up inside the engine.
