Question for 914/6 oil tank/oil change, Does it need a supplemental way to drain? Options

[Krieger]

I have seen some of the members here adding ways to drain the oil tank. 911s have a tank drain, but their tanks are mounted fairly low in relation to the engine. The bottom of the 6 tank is close to being near the same height as the top of the engine caes. Won't the oil just run into the engine case?

I chickened out on the T-drain idea when I built the race car
I like being able to split the hose, angle or point it where I want, and knowing that there are less fittings to come loose or create problems.

I actually saw a motor die once on a friend at the track... due to poorly designed oil line coming loose.

I put ALOT of money into the race motor and can't stand the idea of any unnecessary risk related to oil

(I do a full royal purple oil change every single weekend as an example of my "cheap insurance" thinking.... about 1 case on our system)
