Engines with variable valve timing technology (VVT) will have one oil control valve per camshaft.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The oil control valve is a crucial component in vehicles that use VVT because it regulates the supply of oil to a specific VVT hub. It either advances or slows down the valve timing by changing the position of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/camshaft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"camshaft\">camshaft<\/a> in relation to the driven part of the cam gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, the chain drives the outside of the gear that spins the camshaft, and variable valve timing enables the ECM\/PCM to use an oil control valve and a special gear to change the indexing between the gear and the shaft to reduce emissions and increase fuel economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, remember that every vehicle is built differently, so the exact place might vary. If it&rsquo;s not by the engine block, your best bet would be to consult your owner&rsquo;s manual for the oil control valve&rsquo;s precise location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips on How to Access the Oil Control Valve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes you might need to follow a few extra steps if you want to access your vehicle&rsquo;s oil control valve, but all the information you need should be in the manual.
