Changing oil

[Jomo]

I am very anal about changing oil every 3000 miles. It’s just what a have always done because of towing and basically being hard on the engine. I run the truck often so I probably charge oil every 3 months. I have tried the bag over the filter trick it didn’t work for me. I always end up wearing a lot of oil. So my question is does anyone ever puncture the filter housing to drain the filter first. I never really had an issue when we had car lift but doing it on the garage floor is a bit tricky.

Trans dapt also makes a good product. I ran them on a number of vehicle for many years and no issues with them.

I bought an oil udder xl on Amazon. Cracked the filter loose with nylon strap wrench, then snuck the oil udder up around/under the filter and spun it enough to where the oil started coming out. I added a small length of tube to the udder so it would drain right into my pan. I let it drain for a few minutes, then unscrewed it the rest of the way and pulled filter (still attached to the oil udder with the magnet inside). Didn't spill a drop. It's a tight space to work in and if the previous oil changer hadn't used an impact wrench to install the last filter, it would have gone soo much smoother with less cussing. Next time I'm replacing the drain plug with a fumoto valve to make it even easier the time after that.

I puncture the filter. It helps a lot but don’t expect it keep everything **** and span. I attach some tubing to a funnel and run it to a small reservoir. Funnel under the filter and let er rip
