So if anyone is courageous enough to even attempt to do this easy install with me please raise your hand HAHAHAH

Seriously though, I plan on putting it in, in the near future just need to decide what I am going to use for a reservoir. maybe another washer bottle? I would love to get some catch cans and try that route. Anyone know a good place to buy oil catch cans?

Washer fluid bottle works great. If you get a small container, you run the risk of it running dry and then you're going to really regret messing with the OMP.

Sometimes the washer bottle is really low and I didn't even drive that many miles, so ... be careful not to underestimate. I used to pop the hood and check every time I parked.


Anyway, OMP install is easy without the turbo piping in the way - it's just 3 bolts. The PITA is getting the gasket to stay in place and the bolts to thread back in. I need to redo mine cause it's got a slow leak because I ended up tearing the gasket and installing it without one. It didn't leak for about 2 years.

When I put it on should I drain the oil out or can I do it filled?

If you have time sometime in the next few weeks maybe we can do them both at the same time. I need to get another washerbottle mine is black and I would prefer the clear tank

Maybe you can drop some instructions off at Chris' house that show how to remove an exhaust bolt.

You'd install it empty. Hook up the hose then fill it up. Do it the other way around if you want oil on everything.

I have a clear bottle installed. That's the only way you'll know if it's low. Washer bottle holds 1.5 quarts of oil.
