    I was just looking at the book the other day, I don't consider mine extreme use, so I'd like to aim for 100k.

    p.s. I fixed all the links in my post above. Earl the thread you attached is the same as my 3rd link.


    p.s.s....Junky are you in LA? I lived in Long Beach for 15 yrs, but worked in Santa Monica & West LA.

    Hey Junky...yours and mine are only 32 apart in manufacture!

    Right about the time I'm ready to change the oil, or about 500 miles before, I need a quart; I change mine every 5K miles, running Mobil 1 10W/30. At 73K miles, my PCV valve is original to the vehicle - I never do a thing to it...
