Re: PCV valve

Back from the dead! I still get confused as to why there are different part numbers for the same engines on my base models 2006 & 2007. I changed the 2006’s previously with Fram part# FV406. I’m about to buy one now for the 2007 & it shows a different part# from the 2006’s on Autozones’s web...

Re: How many miles on your Vibes?

2004 @ 230k mi.
2006 @ 198k mi.
2007 @ 104k mi.
All are still running great! Just keep changing the oils with SuperTech HM 5W30 full synthetic every 5k mi. and all the other fluids every 30k mi.

Other OEM wheels for our Gen 1 Vibes

We currently have 3 Vibes with OEM wheels in the family.
2004 with 17” alloys
2006 with 16” alloys
2007 with 16” steelies/hubcaps
I’m gonna guess the 16” alloys are the lightest. I’d like to know has anyone installed other OEM wheels like 15” Prius wheels or something lighter?

Did you shake it to make sure the check valve wasn’t stuck?

PCV Valve Clarifications on Gen 1’s

Ok I’ve tried to search PCV valves on our cars, but have gotten mixed answers. Can we verify which is correct? -Base models with 1zz engines take the coarse threaded PCV valve (Fram part # FV406) -GT models with 2zz engines take the fine threaded PCV valve (Fram part # FV407) -AWD models?? Please po...

Will our custom wheels from our Subaru Impreza fit?

I’m wondering if our wheelset off our Subaru will fit the Vibe. Y’all think I’ll have any problems rubbing? I believe the offset will make em tuck in more.
Specs:
Wheels: Sport Edition P2 Anthracite 16x7.5”, ET48
Tires: Laufenn G FIT (made by Hankook) 215/55R16

Re: How many quarts of oil?

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I did just purchase a 2006 Vibe recently. I remember the same situation on my ‘99 Mustang GT. Ford did the same thing for the New Edge Mustang GT years. 1999-2001 says 5 quarts in the owner’s manual. 2002-2004 says 6 quarts. Now the motor and the oil pan did not...

Hello from Rocklin Ca

Hello everyone! My name is Nic. We just picked up a 2006 Vibe to replace our wrecked 2011 Civic. I was really lucky. Got it from the original 87 year old owner. Has been garaged with only 90k miles on the clock. Some blemishes here and there on the exterior and some stains and hair in the interior, ...
