Oil Filler Tube Install

Looking at that first picture gives me flashbacks from when I replaced the plastic coolant tank in the trunk 2 years ago.

The tube that connects to the engine has been vastly improved. The photo below shows the striking differences.




Also you can see one of the ears I broke off when trying to remove the middle hose. Again if your very careful, the middle tube is most likely the only tube of the three you will have to replace.

I removed the throttle body and the large tube that connects to the intake manifold to gain access to the engine mounts. The notches and grooves allow all the items to occupy there own space. It is a little difficult to get it situated between all the hoses and electrical but not bad. The screw that connects the ear on the passenger side was the hardest to reach and tighten.

Ditto!

The oil filler tube leaks can be a sign of the oil separator going out so keep an eye on it. When it goes out it sucks the oil filler tube almost flat. That closing/opening eventually causes a hole in the filler tube.
