First, Have a shop to your disposal that has a lift! Without that, your in for a fun time reaching under the car for those 2 bolts, hose clamp and lower AOS snap-on hose.
Also, i was trying to rush alittle so i can post a good time

Ouch! I took my time and didn't have a lift and it only took me about 2 hours... maybe I should open up an independent shop? Sheesh.

My AOS was shot. Smoking got pretty bad and idle crept up from 600rpm to about a 1000rpm. After replacement all is good again. Cost was about $500 but had to replace oil filler tube that got broken in the process. Plastic was very brittle and a little piece broke and fell into the oil pan. Found a worm in the oil pickup screen. Very strange.

Can you replace the AOS with oil in the car or do you have to drain it out first? I just replaced the 9.75 quarts of expensive Mobil 1

no need to drain the oil. The aos sits above the oil crankcase

I hope you meant to say you replaced the 9.25 quarts of expensive Mobil 1 oil. You don't want to over fill with oil lest you ruin your Cat's which are very expensive.

Thanks CJ. I'm planning on replacing mine in the near future - next several months.
Regarding the number of quarts. I fully drained my 2001 S and according to the dip stick it took 9.75 quarts to refill. The oil gauge on the dash was one tick below full which is what I read on this forum as the full mark.
Thanks,
-Steve
