You should chage it if it has never been replaced. While you are there you should get a new pcv screen too. Those things can get real clogged with oil.

i recommend a new screen, grommet and valve. some folks have had issues with the aftermarket valves not fitting tightly (read vac leak). all three from the dealer are ~20 bucks. do it and forget for 2 years.

BTW, it vents crankcase pressure.
good luck.
