Service kit - VX or not?
« on: 07 July 2009, 21:16:36 »

Right. I need to do the cam cover gaskets on my 3.0, while I'm in there I might as well do the plugs and filters, and an oil change.

 Is it worth paying for VX kit (obviously I'll be getting VX gaskets and sealant), or will third party do for oil, air and cabin filters, plugs, and anything else I need to change?
