Default Quick queston?
When you change your intake or take it off, do you need to change your oil and coolant?

Would it be a good idea to change oil because some dust/crap may fall into the block?

I've taken mine off and been around when a friend or two pulled his intake...never changed the oil because of it though.

But according to GM, you are supposed to go until you oil life monitor says it needs changing. which can be anywhere from 5 to 9k miles...
