Ahh...ok...just was curious is all. Had trouble seeing how there would be a dramatic difference, same truck, same engine, just 4x2 vs. 4x4.

 

Wedging a funnel helps out a bunch! It is a bit tricky to position but once you figure out how to do it and havethe correct funnel, its not too bad.

 

Yeah it really sucks when you knock it out of place and splash the oil all over yourself though (yeah, I might've done that once...)

 

.

 

Yes, I know what you mean! The worst is not having anything in place to direct the oil. The first time I changed the oil, my wife was "Upset" about the oil that got on the driveway.

The funneldefinately helps out and I'd rather get alittle dirtythan taking it to a"Lube" shop.

 

yea especially bc those shops seldom get anything correct, and id like to know what this trick is too as my truck is a bitch to the filter off of cleanly and its due as well so let me know in the next week or so

 

another time maybe

 

dude, whyd you take it down, not cool at all, i didnt get to read it, at least share you hint to keep the oil from getting all over the place

 

Replace standard drain plug with a $20 Fumoto valve (F106N) andno more worries with 4x4 crossmember.
