Yeah I never see them here either. It's got a VHO badge on the side and I thought it was aftermarket because I've never really seen it.

We were actually on our way to winco and decided just to cruise down Oak. A black 04 ecsb caught my eye orginally, but it was sold. Then they had 2 more ecsb's sittin next to eachother and I looked at the VIN # in the window and saw the "N" 8th digit. That's all I needed to see

 

Ok it's back from the dealership and it's getting the oil changed tonight. Putting in full synthetic over the cheap stuff I'm sure that they used.

 

I'm gonna try to bump this thread with a new question and hopefully someone can answer...

Lookin into getting a FIPK for the VHO and was just wondering if the part # for the SSS would work for the VHO considering they are both LQ9??

EDIT: Just did a little research and found that the 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L all use pn. 57-3050...anyone confirm this?

 

what would be the difference they both have the same layout under the hood, so yeah it will fit no problem.

 

that's what i figured but i just didn't want to order it then pull it all apart just to have the wrong kit
