yhea follow it, does it attach to one of your oil coolers? if you drive a stick there will be 2 oil coolers. one in each of the outer openings in your front bumper. if its an auto i believe you would only have one on the drivers side but im not 100%sure about the autos

Yes that is the oil cooler feed line and it goes to the drivers side oil cooler. Because of space and the lines freezing, they are not an easy job. Racing beat sells an aftermarket set of lines http://www.racingbeat.com/RX8/Oil-System/11911.html

If you email racing beat, they can send you a diy guide via email so you can see if this is a job you think you can handle on your own.
