Which PCV valve do I need?

[John Smith]

Hi,

I would like to replace my PCV valve as a matter of standard maintenance, but I cant figure out what part number I need. My car is a 2003 GT. In the owners manual it says I need part# EV-98, but when i go to ford they tell me I need EV-261 (which is 38 dollars more than EV-98) they also tell me there is no EV-98 part number in their computer. I found EV-98 at rockauto.com, but it is EV-98 B. Is this the same as EV-98?

Thanks,

Motorcraft's site says EV261 if you have twist in style PCV valve, or EV253 if not.
