Note: Always run a dump tube boot on the end of the tube or your engine will eat dirt. On most off-road cars we put on the oil filler that does not have a down tube. In doing this it is real important that you run a breather filter. We usually run a hose up to the filter and mount it above the engine. On street cars we run the filler that has a tube.
