[QUOTE="Ricoman, post: 1413007, member: 31915"] OK..did my first oil change on my baby,and after reading all the comments on this thread and others thought it was going to be a nightmare....remove skid plate,dont remove skid plate,filter from top,filter from bottom...buy a Fumoto Valve,dont buy a Fumoto valve...seriously guys....Unless I missed something or have a really special Raptor,changing the oil on it was almost the easiest oil change on any vehicle I've ever done...and can only figure a lot of guys just dont know their way around a tool box...LOL...I even went and bought a Fumoto Valve so I could install during the first change....and didnt even put it in! MY drain plug is at the rear of engine,no where near the skid plate,and its a simple reach up with 5/8" socket and remove...drain oil and replace....the value might save me 15 seconds next time,but then would have to deal with the slower drain rate...DAMN,ya dont even have to jack this baby up to do it..!! I was on my back for all of a minute...removing and reinstalling.... On to the Filter...again...whats all the drama about....stand on a step stool,reach down and its OFF..! Remove skid plate?? Now THAT would of been DRAMA x 2 ... I did drop a couple rags down on it under the filter,just in case there was massive oil comming out of old filter and when I took them out not a drop....Entire job took less than 30 minutes,and thats only because I was thinking the whole time I'm having a Senior moment,forgetting something and gonna blow up my engine....NOT....figure next time now 15-20 at most...took longer to gather up everything... Also,mine was done at some Jiffy-Lube type place by original owner and had some small cheapie filter,so I upgraded to the K&N.Its twice the size,and with the 1" nut on end...gonna be super easy to remove.! Just my 2 cents....now I only hope my Spark Plug change will be as easy...LOL Posted some photos....one of filter is from top of engine compartment....
