Oil change

You can see from the pictures that both the drain plug and oil filter are very accessible. Let the new filter set for a few minutes after you pre fill it to let the filter absorb the oil. You will need to top it off of few times prior to installing it. Also, clean off the surfaces where the filter gasket and drain plug o-ring mate to ensure there is no dirt.
Nice post, nice pics. So there is nothing more to do than pull the oil plug, drain, replace filter and add 10 quarts? Nothing else due to presence of sump?
