I ask because I would think you would normally want your oil full but if it had to add oil then do you have to drain it or does it pump back into the accusump?

I had it installed last winter.
There has been some leakage but this was due to the fitting not being tight enough which was my fault .

I haven't seen any leak at the unit itself yet and its been at 80-85psi full of oil since the last time I dropped the Z in my garage few 3 months ago.

If you track your Z, I strongly suggest anybody to get one !!! this can/could/will save you a lot of $$ down the road.

My oil level ? Its where it should be. you do need to fill the Accusump the first time you install it which you need to go gradually. I do it in 3 shot after an oil change which mine is their biggest Accusump.

I run with a manual valve by the center console when I first start it and right before shutting off the engine.
