Back after a long hiatus and just one tech question at this time: what remote oil filter kit is available for a 2016 Ram 1500 5.7l? I just changed my own oil yesterday after my favorite repair shop did a lackluster job on the last oil change on my Ram not to mention screwing up my wife's Hyundai's previous oil change. Getting to the oil filter on this Ram is not especially hard but I'm not getting any younger and it actually hurts to twist my arm around to get to the filter.

 

Something like this?

 

Yes, until I saw a couple of recommendations. The hard part was containing the oil coming out of the filter as it's being unscrewed. One person suggested cutting down a plastic milk carton and putting it under the filter and let the filter and oil drop into that. Another suggested a 1 gallon ziplock bag instead of the milk carton. Both sounded reasonable to me. I've got about 6K-7K miles to decide on which one. 🙂
