mine was well taken care of by a millionaire
for a good chunk of it's life the second owner did a good job with the fluid changes as well.

my oil even at 2,000miles is still very clean
i will be changing it soon though at 3,000 miles with amazon SN 5-W30 oil has pretty good reviews..

Huh?

There's vacuum being put on the pass side valve cover too. If the oil filler tube isn't attached properly onto the valve cover there will be a vacuum leak, and possibly code(s)

Well, I guess that's possible. There's no leak when those lines are capped and the ports on the covers are vented to atmosphere. I should get around to doing mine but too much else going on right now along with the usual aches and pains.
