DV/BOV Install and Maintenance
I recently bought my Evo 8 and and it came with a VTA BOV
I ordered the OEM MR DV to put in it's place but I have a question about this. I understand how to install the DV but I'm wondering if I should lubricate the DV before installing it or if that is even necessary.
I spent a lot of time playing paintball and maintaining those guns so I feel like I have a good understanding of pressurized air valves. Because of that, it seems weird not to have to lube it, but I don't know for sure so here I am.
Additionally, if lubrication is suggested, is there a general maintenance period for pulling this guy out and lubricating it again?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Bonus: I also have a Synapse DV on it's way but generally don't have the time to tinker so the OEM will be by go to until I get the time to try that one out.

just throw the OE in there and let it be. I haven't heard of people ever messing with them nor have i heard that it's suggested
for the synapse just keep in mind that some people run in Push mode, some run in Pull mode, some run Port A only, some people run Port B only, and some run Port A+B. Seems that everyone's car likes something different
