Posting your failure of the CSC is when I made up my mind to do it in mine. Let me ask you a question do you hear any engine noise (only with windows up) When taking off hard it sounds like valve float or marbles shaking more prevalent when oil hot and revs dropping in Gear. It is annoying. Mac PS I have the Nissan Ester oil in mine.

The intake they are installing is k And N short ram using AFE oil free filters.(that was my decision not there's). Mac

That's supposed to be good stuff. Used in many european and german cars as OE fluid. I'm not sure about the LV spec, we're not in alaska here.

Yeah got my car back with no damage!!!! Here are pics of the old parts and my new KN intake with Dry filters installed. Guys the difference in my shifting is wonderful I don't know if its the fluid or what everything feels better . The sound the intake makes is Awesome but I feel I lost some low end on the Car. Mac

Thanks! the intake sound is addictive. Mac

Oops, didn't see that part about the noise. No, haven't noticed anything like marbles even when taking off hard. The engine is rather... abrasive at the higher end compared to Honda, but I love the high 'mid-range' I guess you'd call it where it sounds like a machine winding up more than an engine sound.

Love the intakes. Typhoon? Those are on my list...

Yes Typhoon but don't use the kn filters if they don't mess your maf they will mess up the throttle body see pic of the filters I used (oil free) . Mac

I think he may be referring to the clutch or driveline. It does make a rattling sound(like marbles) if your take off is not so smooth.
