(What this picture doesn't show is, the bottle of Schlitz in my other hand as I'm chugging it while dumping the oil).
Yep, that's the way I do it!
We used to have some dirt roads, and the county oiled the roads periodically to keep dust down anyway. Just had to make sure no one was coming for a few minutes.When I was growing up, we used to do oil changes by straddling the ditch by the house and pulling the oil plug.
On that part, I was just saying how easy it is to drain. I can reach under, not having to crawl under, without any tools. And absolutely no mess. Before I installed the valve on this truck, every vehicle I have done oil changes on, for more than 50 years now, there was always a mess. I don't care if there was no breeze at all, for the previous month, as soon as I pulled the plug, the gale force winds started, blowing the draining oil, all over the place. Even in a garage it seemed. LOL. Of course I still have to do the filter, but it's way easier, with the remote filter kit, that allows a larger filter.You don't put new oil in, or change oil filters lol?
Fumoto saves me a ratchet, not a ton of time 5 minutes at most.
As a Kid, we did the same thing. We lived on a dirt street, in the suburbs. We had city water, so didn't have to worry about ground water. Where I live now, I have a well, and don't want to do that.We used to have some dirt roads, and the county oiled the roads periodically to keep dust down anyway.
