+1 on the fumoto valve. It keeps things much cleaner. I have one on my powerstroke and take it on some pretty rough trails. No problems so far but I I think for peace of mind I'll put the valve lock on this year just in case.

Good thread. The fumoto valve is genius. This makes the process even simpler!

[QUOTE=fj605;1552ing from experience, premium, synthetic oil works best if you put the plug back in the oil pan before pouring in the oil. It doesn't do much just passing through.[/QUOTE]
I work at a ford quicklane and one guy this winter, got fired for forgetting the oil filters on a few cars.
How funny that I was researching the Fumoto valves and then I found this thread! Ordering one for the Dodge now. The factory drain plug is a JOKE on the Cummins.
Another random piece of advice i learned while owning my Infiniti G35... When you finish your oil change and cant get a good read on the dipstick, run it under cold water or stick it in the snow for a few seconds. Oil sticks the the colder metal a little better. Make sure you wipe it clean before and after running it under water though.
My EDC: Handcuffs, Bandana, and Ball Gag.
If I'm ever at a party and the cops come to arrest people. Ill blindfold myself, throw the ball gag in, handcuff my hands, and hide in a closet. Police never arrest hostages!
I used one of the self contained containers with a spout on it. Works awesome. Just make sure you open up the plug and vent before you start draining oil. I change my oil on everything (all 3 vehicles, atv, rzr, boat and whatever else needs it). I always use latex gloves to keep the oil off my hands and most of the time I end up spotless.
those fumoto valves look pretty nice, but I'll stick with what works.
