as someone who has owned cars and low ones his whole life, its a nice change to just have to put the truck in off road 2 setting and crawl under it without having to use ramps or jacks to change the oil
You’re skinnier than me...lol. But ramps + air suspension FTW!

i could fit but still a tighter squeeze than I would like. I'm just gonna use the ramps next time to make it faster.

Anyone use a Fumoto oil drain valve here? I install them on all of my cars and it makes things so much easier. It replaces your stock drain plug with a valve and it has a nipple on the end. When you want to change your oil next time, you just attach a short hose (or not if you're using a pan anyway) stick the other end into an old 5 qt oil bottle and flip the lever. I just got a new one since my Limited is almost ready for it's first change.

A couple of posts on the fumoto here (search). For some reason IIRC people were using a different version of that valve. Clearance issue with sway bar maybe?

I got the FEMCO version of this and installed it on the last oil change. Hopefully it goes smooth next change. FEMCO.jpg

Be sure you read all the promo info for that one. The rebate is usually there but it is not always applicable to your area.

My last oil change I got the rebate (bought from Amazon). This time around I started the process to submit my receipt and I did not recognize any of the retailers in the "Select Participating Retailer" block. I still got a good deal on the 5 gal jugs but was a little disappointed that I wasn't getting the rebate. If you are counting on it definitely check the promo first to make sure your retailer is listed as those are the only places you can provide a receipt from to get the rebate.
