Skid plate on TRD Sport Premium

I'm wondering if while the oil drain plug and oil filter are accessible, can you actually get tools up there? Oil filters can be tricky sometimes. Does the oil drain through that hole or all over the skid plate? My guess is you'll need to rig up a Form-a-Funnel or something.

 

Just add a Fumoco valve and use a short flex tube. And the access door provides plenty of room for the filter.

 

Fumoto, you mean? Ford Motor Company probably won't sell you an oil drain valve...

 

Cant wait to install mine.

 

Yeah, I would definitely add the valve. Haven't changed my oil yet, but from what I've seen, the

$53 0W-20 oil Toyota/ exxon mobil Case of 6 Quarts Full Synthetic TGMO SN 0W-20 Oil

0W-20 oil shoots out like water. No way you could do it without the valve without getting oil everywhere. And I wouldn't want to remove the 40lb skid plate every time I did an oil change.

 

Which valve does the 24 tacoma use (model number)? Thanks!

Go to this Fumoco website and decide for yourself.
Some are straight, and some are right angle. Some are older style, some newer. To each his own.

Considering how far up the drain hole is on the 4th gen, I'd trend toward the F133N with the RCI skidplate, but that's just my preference.
