In my 2.8 the PCV is part of the breather hose and can't be removed and I don't think you can clean it well. I just replaced mine. That part in the link is not the PCV but the suction pump. This one is not part of the hose and you can remove it and try to clean. BTW, cleaning or replacing this is in my to do list.

You could replace it since it is just fitted to some hose but it is not possible to buy it as a separate part... It comes as a part of PCV hose aseembly.

As to the cleaning, I suppose you could soak it in some solvent to get rid of oil.
