well i guess my car forced me to do an oil change




the oil line going from my engine to the top of my oil cooler decided to split, resulting in 3.8 quarts of oil spraying out all over the roads as i was driving to my buddies house, left a great trail.


anyways i guess i gotta goto the dealer for this line, looks pretty rx7 - specific. if anyone has delt with it before, anything i should know? or is there any other place i can get this line than from the dealer? thanks..

You don't have to go to the dealer! You need to get in touch with Racing Beat and get their Stainless Steel Braided Oil Cooler Line Kit. They are pretty sweet because they come with all of the fittings to go directly onto your engine and oil cooler.

I recommend the RB or corksport SS braided lines. The set of those is cheaper than one line from mazda, plus they last longer and look nicer.

I believe I would have promptly told him to eat a dick, and I would have went back to sleep. "Neighborhood watches" and "homeowners associations" are total bullshit...there won't come a day when someone tells me when to mow my own yard, paint my house, or where to park my car or whether or not I can work on it.
