Oil Change

I am changing the oil myself for the first time and was wondering to fill the oil up do you go through the oil filter housing or the oil fill tube, I am also putting archoil in I figured that would go in last. Thanks

Fill tube with a funnel. You might as well put a futomo drain valve on if you haven't done this already.

If you do a lot of off roading you may want to rethink the fumoto valve some of ouy drivers have ripped them right off. But then these idiots think they are tanks anyway.

With the drain plug, just make sure you have a oil pan with the capacity of atleast 15 quarts, cause once she is coming out, it's coming out fast, especially if warm. Fill tube is on the passenger side, against the firewall, I have a funnel that hooks onto the firewall so it doesn't tip over full.

I thought I had a big enough container, made a approx. 2 qt mess, oh well that is what speedy dry is for. My funnel fit perfectly on the fill tube and didn't loose a drop of the new expensive oil!
