i drained about 1/2 of the oil, then driled a hole and taped it. some metel fell into the pan i am sure. i changed the oil fired it up for about 1 minuted and changed it again. then changed it again after a few hours of running.

i just used cheap oil for all of this since i knew i would be dumping it out quickly.

the feed line taps into that fitting near yout oil filter, it looks like it was made to hold an oil line.

There are manufacturers that make a special tap that makes the chips fall the opposite direction instead of inside of the pan
I will try and look up the manufacturer.

the size would need to match whatever line you are trying to hook up. for the cmotorsports kit the return line needed a 3/8" npt and the feed line i think was a 1/8" npt.

Yep that's correct on those 2 sizes the feed is -4an and the return is -8
I did the same with the oil
I actaully drilled it with a full pan of oil and it spit out the shavings and oil
at the same time
