Getting ready for my second oil change. Can't wait to do it again.
Damn I wish I had a lift. It would make things so much easier.

Draining the oil while hot keeps minute particles in suspension within
the
oil. Although far less fun than doing it cold, your engine will
appreciate
having those particles flushed at each oil change. And who put the oil
filter so close to the manifold???
