do you have a oil mist/dirt all over the top of your motor? Do you have liquid oil in the throttle body? (not allways true) do you have a sucking vacum sound with the cap off and car running? Does your car seem to use oil more than it regularly does?

If yes to these, then the AOS is not working well. If it fails, you will know. Plumes of white smoke will come from your car. or lock up with oil in the cylinder ( this could kill the motor).
From my understanding, AOS is like the water pump. Replace it every X years. They are cheap. motors or tow trucks are expensive.
