Default This may seem like a stupid Question, But?.....
I was changing my oil today in my 225 TT and was wondering if I had a FMIC would it be easier to change the oil. Stupid reason to get a FMIC but worth asking:-)

Default nope, because that cross over tube is structural and must be retained regardless>>
in fact my TT is a 180Q with only 1 IC but still has that tube.

Darn, I guess I will not be running out to get a FMIC. *LOL*

Default maybe that should be rephrased.. have you ever removed the oil filter from the car?
I've got tiny hands and thin arms and its a royal PITA for me to get to even.

Default wow, I had wondered about that...
seems like a waste to have that tube there. Should just be a brace.

Default something smaller diameter would certainly ease filter changes, but>>
i'm not too motivated to spend a bunch of time on something that would save me 5 min (and a litle bit of spilled oil) every 10k miles. =)
