Sorry that I couldn’t get to you in time, however the others in this thread make good points and it may be better to do the oil change while doing it to save the headache of wondering and it is also a bit messy. I was being a bit stingy and didn’t want to purchase another gallon of oil, saving some money but not so much time and effort lol. I did use an extra large drain pan which helped as the part fit pretty well but after removing when full of oil, a good amount will come out rather fast and uncontrollably.

 

Agreed. I didn’t have access to a lift and if you do I would take advantage to save yourself the pain. I just jacked it up put on jackstands, layed on my back slid under, elbow practically scraping the ground and got very dirty I’m sure in the process as well 😂

 

Definitely not a great place. Once loosening those bolts you actually have to tinker with them a bit to get clearance from the chassis as the bolts are longer than you may think at first, but a little movement left and right back and forth and should be able to make its way out.
