you wont lose any, all the oil will have drained into the sump. I did mine last week. real easy job.

thankyou bud , i o i o its off to the garage i go :yes
yep bud fitted a relocation kit a few days ago, because the filters upside down all the oil drains out as soon as the engines off.. i didnt loose any, only the oil that leeked due to me droping the rubber oring when i fitted the plate :yes

the oil shouldnt drain back to the sump as this would mean the system wuold have to purge everytime u started your engine, there will be a non return valve sumwhere, the rx7 has a very smally filter tho and you\'d only loose a gobfull
has any1 go a greddy one with a apexi oil temp gauge init just like to know if it fits b4 i buy one
I have the Greddy one with a Blitz gauge in it.
Whenever I change the oil filter I always have to undo the connector above it (TPS I think) then plug it back on afterwards.....just a word of warning !!
Worst case scenario you\'ll lose the oil in the filter, just top up as required. Best case, you won\'t lose any as it will have drained into the sump mate.
I have a Raid sandwich plate on my engine, good bit of kit. Nice shiny blue too. Easy to fit.
