Almost fun changing oil now

Just remove oil plug and it’s long enough to catch the rush of oil down to the last trickle and wide enough to grab the filter in the same setting.

And yes the oring stuck on the truck side.

How well does that work in gravel? Asking for a friend of course…

Im in the 5-gal bucket club. Just snap the lid on and off to AdvanceAuto to dump it on the way to work.

yup, just pre-loosen the drain plug, and slide it under the truck.

If you're having fun changing oil, I'd let you come to my house about once a month and have some more fun!

Sure wish Ford would've put a drain valve on the filter mount housing, then it really would be almost fun...

Mine goes into a 15 gallon drum and a guy picks it up for his waste oil burner.

Sorry somehow I quoted the wrong post.

By the amount of oil splattered on the floor it doesn't look like much fun

I miss having a fuel oil furnace in the house. I’d just dump my waste oil into the tank to burn it. Had to replace the furnace in 2014 with an LPG burning furnace.

A 16 penny nail or a sharp punch after you crack it makes it a lot cleaner.

Done that before, with a punch instead of a nail. Drains what's in the filter, but there's still oil trapped above the filter in the housing that doesn't drain into the filter (quite a bit, actually).

So, just when you think that all the oil is out of the filter and you can simply remove the filter, more splashes everywhere, lol... Just one of the other things to take into account, but still a PIA.

I put Fumoto valves on every truck I buy. Hook up the hose and drain the oil to any spot I want with zero splatter or mess. Simple as pie. I love them.

Dumb question: does it have a pump, or do you have to lift it up to a higher spot in order to drain it into container(s)?

Definitely the easiest oil change of all vehicles I've had. Drain valve and 5 gallon bucket club here. I can't say I look forward to oil changes, but they couldn't be much easier....

I punch a hole in bottom of filter. Allow it to drain, then slip on a 1 gallon zip lock and spin off the filter. Screw on new filter. Close bag, done.
