Default Re: Oil drain tube

I don't think a straight tube that is long enough will fit. It will hit the pan where the pan starts to slope forward.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned, it is a good idea to file a "C" grove in the thread area on the side facing forward to insure the tube isn't threaded in too far. Then do whatever you do to lock the tube in place. If your are worried about a leak from that area, put a little fillet of JB weld around the pipe.
