What size oil feed line?

[Noreaster]

Ive been doing some researching on oil feed line size. Looking to ditch the oil feed from the valley & pickup from behind the oil filter housing, saving the PS spot for down the road.
I just want to see what other peoples experiences & opinions are

Buy the merchant kit, -6 for sure!

I just installed one of his kits to replace my old feed and drain setup. The kit is awesome, but be aware that because of the length of the feed line you'll have to run it up by the firewall and the up pipe.

I ran -4 to my 464 for 100 000 km no issues.

How long of an oil line should I get?

Get a piece of rope, route it how you plan to route the hose leave an extra inch or two and Bob's your uncle for length.

In most cases -4 is more than adequate infact turbos with ball bearings usually run a restrictor in the port.

Merchant needs to add about 6" to their line for it to work correctly...

Yeah, I would have preferred to route it around the driver side rather than behind the block.

That's why Im asking how long of line I need to get

I route mine different than most which is why I suggest using rope to measure yourself. I find most of the time kits are never done as well as I do it myself and usually short Ya. Better to be looking at it than for it.
