Oil change tip

Had a fun time changing the oil, I never had such a hard time finding the oil filter on a vehicle before. But once I did, Wow! not one drop of oil on the floor - I used the bottom half of a 2 liter bottle of soda to catch the drips from the filter and it worked great. I could still see what I was doing through the clear plastic.

Next time it will take 10 minutes instead of 25 looking for the filter and 5 searching the web for the location!:P

Oil change tip

Another great tip for oil changes is to install the Fram SureDRAIN fast access oil change system. In installed it on my 5.4l Expedition, and now I can change my oil with no tools. KEWL!!!
