Thanks everyone. Green it will be.

As to removing the tube, on most engines it's just pressed in - but there is always the possibility someone has applied a sealant at some time. If you gently bump it with a soft faced hammer side to side while pulling on it at the same time it should come out.

There is supposed to be a baffle on the bottom end. If your tube was installed backwards, I wonder if that little piece is still attached. From a discussion last year, the mysterious piece of metal some had found laying in the oil pan was the baffle. Being installed on the wrong side because of a backward tube, apparently they were knocked off by the crank.
