    Let's think about all fluids. Now that your wrenches are warmer and the miles are ticking, what else can we change...

    Power Steering Fluid
    Front Differential
    Rear Differential
    Transfer Case
    Transmission
    Brake Fluid
    Coolant
    Oil

    Oh, and don't forget the serpentine belt and pcv.

    What else ?

    PCV

    Definition: The Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve is an emissions control device that routes unburned crankcase blowby gases back into the intake manifold where they can be reburned. The PCV system is one of the oldest emission control devices, and also one of the most beneficial. Besides totally eliminating crankcase emissions as a source of air pollution, the constant recirculation of air through the crankcase helps remove moisture which otherwise would cause sludge to form. Thus the PCV valve extends the life of the oil and engine.

    It's located on the drivers side (US model) valve cover under the black plastic piece. Just pop that black cover off and you'll see it

    its red right, cuz i just changed mine and man it was nasty and did not rattle when u moved it. the 1 i bought from auto zone was black, fits perfect, but it does not matter that its a diffrent then the stock, right? i just can't wait to drive my VX, i have the gps, 919's springs, Botch Platinam +4 spark plugs, all the front lights and the egr valve waiting to arrive in my door step, the dash is all undone and opened up and it looks like sh!*, and the whole front as well. Can't wait to get my parts. i also fixed my ram air to work better in the front and removed the egr valve tube and clean the sh!* out of it and put back on, man it took me 6 hours to remove the tube and only 20 min's to put back on. i want to see how much all this will help horse power re-gain of lost by years of use, smoother ride, better looking and gas re-gain as well. do u guys thikall this will help improve the life and gas of my VX? sorry if i wrote alot of crap, i'm just bored as heck to get my parts and all i have to do right now is wait.
