If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Quick Update 7/1/17 I changed the PTU fluid again. Had about 5,000 miles since i changed it / performed vent update.

Looks pretty good. No metal shavings or "hair" on the magnetic plug. Also the oil was still pretty thin by 75w140 standards - nothing close to the sludge I pumped out originally. It was still pretty black though. I put in Redline fluid this time to see how that fairs.

I did what is know as the pigtail, the little metal tube coming out of the ptu known as the vent, I put gas line on the vent tube secured with a hose clamp, ran it up to the brake booster and zip tied it, put the breather cap back on the end. I could tell I was a little low on ptu fluid after changing it because the tube hummed and I could smell it since I took off my cowl trim ....in a fit of anger....since replaced since the smell then came in the registers and into the car.....Have not changed it through the tube by sucking it out yet....I used Amsoil....my go to lube-heh heh
