    Anybody know a cleaner/simpler way to drain the oil with an aftermarket skid plate installed with the 7” bds lift?

    You can add the Fumoto valve to it, and order the hose they sell too, I have it, no mess

    I use a vacuum evacuator to suck oil out from the dipstick tube. It gets every last drop but old habits die hard so I still open the Fumoto valve to verify. I'd love a solution for the filter - what a horrible design.

    Fumoto/ hose
    Aluminum filter housing
    Motive drain tool/ hose

    Bought all before 1st oil change
    Buy once SPILL once

    If filter really pisses u off I’m sure someone makes a relocation/ spin-on
    alternative ?????
