Hey guys I need help from someone else who has a turboed rx-8. I took my car to get an oil change today but the guy said he couldnt do it cause there was a hose with a clamp hooked onto where my drain plug would normally be. This must be something that was added with the turbo install. I got under my car and saw it myself. before my 8 was turboed there was just a regular drain plug. Can someone please help me. Do i just disconnect the clamp and let the hose hang there while I let the oil drain out then reconnect it??? Please help. My car is in desperate need of a oil change.

 

Dont hold me to this since my car is still NA but it sounds like you have to disconnect the clamp.

 

Disconnect clamp; drain oil and replace oil.

That is the oil return line from the turbo; no big deal it will just drain like regular.

 

yup, oil return line.
