The valley cover is simple... remove the manifold and take it out. The oil seperator for the PCV is on the underside and in some cases w/ the '01 the seal goes bad and lets excessive oil through the PCV system.
They updated the design in '02+... as part of my re-ring they replaced that first and oil consumption was cut almost in 1/2, but I then proceeded w/ the re-ring.
Also... start using mobil 0w40 or Amsoil 5w40.

^ And get a catch can for the PCV system... not some cheap ebay can, but go get on from a place like elite engineering.
Oil... after a few thousand miles of driving... all LSXs do this.

Re: Going for it.... 15,000 mile oil change interval.
I think my engine's a little too old to be runnin for 15k without a change. i was puttin a quart in the 240 about once every two weeks, because of a major leak, so i went about a year and a half without changing it. Now i change every 4k since I fixed the oil leak.
