If your unsure wether it needs doing or not try pulling the dipstick out while the engine is running, if you get lots of smoke out of the tube then the PCV needs cleaning out/replacing.

If your a mechanic then it shouldn't pose much of a problem, once you get the inlet manifold off it's not that hard.
