Default What exactly is the purpose of this? I noticed it on a CRX I was helping mod (doing an engine swap)

What is so Environmentally friendly of dumping oil into your intake track?

And why does it need to be done (i.e. where's it coming from?)

Default Hey... wait a second... do they service the PCV valve when we go in for service?

from the first page...

"The recommended replacement intervals are a maximum of 12 months or 10,000 miles (16,000 km)."

Default I doubt it... Audi doesn't even have a maint schedule for the FUEL FILTER...

I mean, come on.. it's a filter! They claim it "never needs changing".

PFFT!

I changed mine at 60k...
