Lower oil line

Subject: Lower oil line Tue Mar 20, 2012 11:04 am

My new lower oil cooler line should be here today and If it doesn't rain Im going to install it. Question is how much oil is going to leak out? Lots or just whats in the line? Not sure If I need to go get some oil before I do the swap. I just changed my oil like 200 miles ago or Id just do a oil change while Im under there.
Thanks

I've got one from PT Schram sitting in a box waiting for me to replace the lines on my D1 too. I'm just assuming that it's going to lose a lot of oil, so I'm planning the replacement to coincide with an oil change...

From what I read on another forum and from what Jake said it should only leak about 1/2 a quart. Whats in the line and radiator. I hope so I only picked up one qt of oil, I guess I can go back out I just hate making two trips. We will see.

Completed the install, wasn't to bad, lost a little more than half a quart but If you get the bottom line off and install the new line fast you won't loose so much.
