CHANGING OIL

Wondering if it is essential that my truck be completely level to do an oil change? Any disadvantage if one end is 10 inches or so above the other (on grade)? Thanks,

As long as the drain plug is down, you will be OK draining the oil.

You will not be able to get an accurate oil level check on the dipstick unless the truck is level, though.
