Oil from AOS in Exhaust
I'm replacing a bad AOS and there is some oil dripping from the exhaust. Is there any concern about cleaning/flushing the O2 sensors or cat's, or is it best to just run the car after replacing the AOS and let the oil just burn off?

Or if your in a state like NC, vehicles over 20 years dont get emissions tested any longer and you can do a cat delete! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sure! Same thing I did for the airbag light till I got around to changing the seatbelt clip. I bet there is a way to circumvent the light somehow? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

JFP, Thanks for the rapid response. I'm going to take it out for some laps around town on the bypass tomorrow, 50-60 MPH as you suggested.
The AOS actually went in very easily. I disconnected the oil filler tube, next to it up top, and the mount for the O2 sensor below and beside it. With cable hose clamp pliers and positioning the clamp in an easy to access position, it went right on first try. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1588733449.jpg There's no emission inspection here in Oklahoma, but still it's a nice car and I want to keep it correct. |

If people spent half the time spent on trying to circumvent these systems on actually fixing the car, you would probably be back on the road already. |

But yeah, I agree with you about fixing the car right instead of circumventing the emissions. |
Even in states with no emissions requirements, how are you going to sell or trade in a vehicle with the light on? The very first thing we do during a PPi for a prospective buyer is to scan the car, which would catch any attempt to circumvent the system.

I've been reading the many comments from JFP in PA for the years I've owned my Boxster and want to thank him for contributing his knowledge and expertise to this forum. I wish I was closer to PA so I could take my car to him but, I'm at least 500 miles away depending on where in PA he is. Seems like a very helpful, no BS guy and an asset to this community.
