Oil Line Routing

For 07 K9 application
I have no experience with your specific application or requirements on an 03. Sharing my routing and information obtained in Service manual. Confirm with more experienced guys on here if yours is the same, thanks.

Alright, well this is a bit quick and crude but it should get the job done for you....



The Oil Filter housing has 2 fittings:

The Inner fitting is the supply line from the Oil Pump (Green line)
The Outer fitting is the return line {this is where the cooler supply line should go represented in Blue above}. Confirm that currently goes back to the Oil tank as the return line prior to cooler.
The return line from here should be the only oil line requiring re-routing. (Blue line and new Red line above)
============

So installed:

Left line pictured is Red in block diagram above - going to Oil Tank far right side fitting.
Right line pictured is Blue in block diagram above - going to Oil Filter outside left fitting.



================
Next three fittings here: {1 fitting on bottom of case is Green in above diagram going to oil filter inside fitting closest to filter, 2 fittings on rear side shown in Black in the diagram above, both going to Oil Tank}

Lower line fitting here is going to center fitting in oil tank
Upper line here is going to far left side fitting of Oil tank - closest to primary

===================

The following pics represent line routing {and a dirty bike}

I'll get you the info tonight or tomorrow Camaro when I get home. I have the 03 which should plumb up just like yours. The kits comes with new lines right? I'll tell you which one goes where when I take a look at my bike tonight.

It's pretty simple camaro. You go from your outlet on the oil filter (this will be the return line to the oil tank or the longer of the two lines) to the first oil cooler inlet, then the outlet of the first oil cooler to the inlet of the second cooler then the outlet of the second cooler to the oil tank return line you started with. You can patch the last return line with a fitting or get a new piece of oil line (longer) and re-route it.

Have fun,

:cheers:

Hey Nelson sorry I did'nt answer I've been swamped at work. No instructions in either box. I got it figured out but I may need to order a shorter hose to run in between the 2 coolers I will let ypu know. Thanks...David

Just called you David ... those were supposed to have instructions included.

Make sure that after you install that the braided lines are not touching anywhere.
I got an oil leak after about 4 months when the lines rubbed a hole in each other
