Fitting my fmic today. Just took my standard smic off and it has oil in it....

Yes it's from the PCV that vents oil vapours from the crank case into the intake.

No, a lot of people fit a catch can to stop the intercooler getting coated in oil.

No dont put oil in it!

Haha!

Stick a couple of litres in until it's full then re-attached the pipe... that should do it!

Do the elephant mod to stop oil build up . A full guide is on the general maintenance section Ithink.

I bought a second hand SS cooler a few weeks ago, filled it with petrol and let it soak for a couple of days was surprising the amount of oil that came out of it.

Be interesting to see how coated the old one is when I remove it!

There will be a good amount in it dan..
