Default Oil feed and return on STS

So I have been searching because I have heard of this being done but cannot find any information can you run a return like this:


anyone know fittings or parts that would be great, its that little thing right above the oil filter that gets in the way of installing LT's

Wow. What a misleading lead in.
Over my best judgement, look on Vortech's site for putting a return line into the oil pan.
Next time, be more truthful about your goal, and you will get better responses.

The fitting above the filter that you are speaking of is where you want to tap for your oil feed. . Just tap a fitting into your oil pan for the return. -3 or -4an for the feed and -10an for the return. Hope this helps

That is the feed!!! The fitting above the oil filter is feed, not drain!

Correct, the oil filter is the feed. The return is into the top of the oil pan. If I can find the link, I will post it, but the Vortech site posts the way to do it. JFGI.
Here is the link to do the return line into the pan. Hope you can follow it.
