    It goes in to the air inlet if I'm not mistakes. Remove the flywheel cover and it's right there.

    For shooting the oil into the cylinders I've found a decent meat injector thingy to work best. Has a long wide needle on it and I use it for oiling the compressor too.

    He's asking about the Air Compressor.

    On standard Optimax models, you'll need to disconnect the Air Inlet Hose (the larger/top hose) to gain access to the air inlet fitting. Many of the ProXS or Racing models used a different compressor (different air inlet configuration).
