I live in a burb of Vegas(Henderson-kinda up in hills), so don't know if we're considered a "cold climate" or not. My X DOES have the CC package on it, although most of foam sleeves have LONG rotted and broke away(finished off the sliver left on the rigid 3/8"(?) connector tube on distribution when I disassembled that). The foam on oil drain line was still in good shape, from the little I dealt with when under the car, removing it/fitting cap/fitting it back over cap. The other CCV lines have what seems to be a neoprene-type sleeving over the plastic hoses down through top to sep(what do we do with those cut lines on this mod, just leave them be, open??). It does get below freezing at my house(I park X outside/no room in 2-car garage), but not very far below or for extended periods of time in winter. LOL on the 2 year replace schedule(see my orig comment!)
Oil sep "Might" have been replaced since I've owned(Dec '03) the vehicle(would have to go through my paperwork and check though, but don't remember it and I've never done it MYSELF). Can I put a towel lightly over ALL the cylinders to try to "catch" the flying out oil(and maybe some cardboard under that side(in engine bay) to catch too? How much should I crank engine? Like off and on or leaving it cranking for a minute or.....??? Lastly, is there anything I can run through engine to clean all the oil gunk out that's infiltrated the cylinders before I put in new plugs?
Thanks
