The 2nd time I used an oblong funnel I found at Wal Mart, it fit right into
the opening in the skid plates and captured about 98% of the oil.
Next time I'll install my new Fumoto oil valve, which has a nipple on it,
and then subsequent changes will drain out through a hose.. much easier..

As for the filter, I plan on installing an Amsoil filter relocation and
bypass filter kit, two birds with one stone..
