I removed one of the hex plugs on the oil filter housing and used the STM remote oil pressure line. Be careful removing the hex plug because they are in there tight and can get stripped.

^^^ Same here.

I used a torch to heat up the plugs and they came out pretty easily. Pretty sensitive area so just be careful with the torch.

^Same as above, except I used an AMS relocation line (pretty sure it's the same). Highly recommend using either one of the lines (STM or AMS) as the sensor will break in the housing over time due to vibration
