My 89 300CE (W124) is drinking oil a lot (1 quart / 500 miles). Haynes book suggests to check/replace the PCV valve and PCV filter. Thanks to M.B Doc I know that there is no PCV valve in MB car anymore. What's about PCV filter? I was at Autozone today and they carry none.

Is there also no PCV filter?

Thanks!
