i used the right side.... so the hot oil lines dont bother me.... just the passenger.

do a search in the forum and my blog.....

where are you tapping the oil from? sandwich plate? full flow? makes a difference which side is easier.....

The previous owner of my car ran his radiator lines stright up the middle under the center tunnel. (it was a V8 car) Would have been nifty if there was actually a recess there. I guess his train of thought was that if he bottomed out in this area, he probably had bigger issues than worrying about the cooling lines. However, I would be worried about road junk constantly battering the lines.

there *is* a recess there, along the center tunnel ...

however, for oil lines, i still like the idea to run them outside along the rockers or inside the long or inside the cabin.

in fact, i like inside the cabin, along the pass. side long, the best. put a alu cover over it and you should be safe (and cool) ...

like this:

can't agree more with a cover, hot oil under pressure can give a nasty burn, although it is much cooler than radiator fluid, for which you for sure need protection from leaks. Learned from experience, ouch!!! it was hot!!!

Running them outside along the passenger side rocker, then up into the gas tank ( as shown on the black photo 2 posts ago) area behind the strut is really easy and you won't burn ourself or your passenger with hot oil lines.

I agreed with the folks that say keep the oil lines out of the passenger area in case something bad happens. Here are some pics of my car:
