    What size hose will i need to run the oil filter drain down to the pan. I can't find Chris's DIY....I know he mentioned what size tubing to use.

    I mean you gotta have the right hose for the job... Thats what she said!!

    I've tried it both ways...the hose works WAY better. Get a section of 5/16" inside diameter hose and hose clamp. I leave mine in place and have it coming out the hole in the skid plate. After it quits dripping I cap off the end with a plastic screw type plug...never had one drop on the driveway.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    this sounds like a good idea. i may have to try it and have it attach to my fumoto drain valve so they drop from the same area.

    I just stick an empty quart oil can under it and catch it into that. Saves me the time of the hose and cleans up just as quick/clean.

    Problem is, by the time you’re done with the job you’re all jacked up on Gatorade, having had to chug the whole bottle prior.

    Remove new oil filter from box, place 2-3 paper towels in box, place shop rag or towel on top of battery, lubricate new filter seal and place filter on top of battery, place a can of brake-kleen in reach of filter, loosen old filter slightly so it can then be removed by hand, place oil filter box under drain pipe and hold in place with one hand, with other hand remove old filter and let drain down drain pipe, place old filter on rag on top of battery open end up, install new filter, use brake-kleen to clean any residue from drain pipe, remove filter box.
