    That’s the point, in January no oil change shop will touch a vehicle with a FV. Not even remove it and put the drain plug back in. I would be fine changing it myself in FL that month, but up north here crawling on the ground to change oil at my age from Dec to March is a nightmare. According to my back. Ice and snow covered driveways.

    Trying to picture doing this while I'm changing my oil.:rofl::rofl::rofl:

    I'm not trying to be the spelling critic, but this one gave me a good chuckle. Thanks.

    I have the same oil drain container and did the same deflection of oil, striking the tire, wheel and onto the garage floor, right beside and then under a 5x7 tarp. Nice.

    With all of the room under and around the oil pan, it could have been designed to drain straight down.

    Days later I purchased my first ever Fumoto.

    I used a 10 inch tall clean storage container, dumped the clean oil into it and installed the Fumoto.
