4.6L Oil Filter Change Question
There's a plastic catch tray under the oil filter on the 4.6L 4X4. It feels like there's an oil drain outlet on the right rear of the tray. With the front wheels on ramps, will the oil drain neatly out the back of the tray into a catch container when I carefully loosen the filter or am I dreaming? Can I expect a mess of does this tray work?

That tray in theory is supposed to channel the oil towards the front and into your drain pan. However, during my first oil change, I found that when the filter is just about to pop off the oil runs down the back side of that pan and onto your driveway if your pan isn't big enough or positioned to catch the oil from the front AND back of the tray.
