[QUOTE="TerminatoRS, post: 16941468, member: 195778"] We use those Fumoto drains on the trucks at work. 46qts of 15w-40 seems to drain just fine even if it's lukewarm. My 18 2.7 has a plastic pan (IIRC) and yellow plastic plug that's a few inches long. Goofy/different, but effective I guess. No socket needed; you remove it by hand with a twist of maybe 180 degrees. But then it has the same issue where oil ends up on a crossmember. The techs at Ford like to remove 3 of 4 of the 8mm bolts that hold the felt pan on. Then they loosen the fourth so they can just rotate it out of the way and access the plug. That's all fine and dandy, but the added stress ends up tearing out the back corners of the felt eventually. I reinforced mine with aluminum after they destroyed mine. Seems to be holding up (no pun intended) so far. [/QUOTE]
