It's about time to change the oil for the first time with the Comptech SC....there's two fittings in the oil pan instead of just a drain bolt. Which one should I unscrew? They're also aluminum--what's the recommended torque for the fasteners?

 

Unscrew the outer side..
and use your feeling to tighten it . (not to tight, just right amount of pressure )

 

You mean unscrew the 90 Deg. connector from the male/male connector that screws into the pan? (It's not reverse threaded, is it?)

Obviously sockets can't be used and space is very tight down there with the Digrappa XBrace. Any tricks for making it easier?

 

Jack it up.

 

I did mine the weekend before last. Just unscrewed the 90 degree connector and let it drain out. Once it had finished I screwed it bad on firmly but not too tight.

With regard to the X brace: Get a Muz/WhiteLine. No problem at all.

 

^^^ did what you did and it worked out pretty good. just that i dont have the xbrace! easier for me

 

its really a pain with the cusco brace. I take them both out and jack the car up from the drivers side to make sure I get all the oil out.
