first welcome
second read the new owners thread about 12 times. no really read this!

after all that, find out what kind of "oil bottle" it is. catch can? sohn adapter? etc.
is the exhaust a cat back only? or is it a mid pipe? the only reason to have to re-tune with an exhaust is a header to squeeze out ~ .2 hp or mask the CEL for the cat

Cat backs and intakes are well within the self adjusting parameters of the stock ECU.

To get better performance from them a retune is great...but no more necessary than doing it on a stock car

You need to buy the Sohn adaptor itself from rotaryaviation.com https://www.rotaryaviation.com/store..._Adapters.html

Or check if the owner has installed it already and just not connected the reservoir? Take out the battery and the battery box and look toward the bottom of the engine. You should see a black component with some wires and connectors. If it has an aluminium block in the middle of it and that aluminium block has a brass hose connector pointing upward from it, that is the Sohn adaptor and you should probably not drive the car until you have that plumbed to the oil container.

If you don't see anything like that, you'll need to buy it, or just skip on the whole thing and let the stock OMP do its thing. Eitherway, it is not an alternative to premixing.
