I just completed the first oil change on my Ranger. ....first class mess it was.
I'm OK with removing the skid plate for sump drain access, LF tire and the bottom of the rubber shield for filter access.
But the filter dribbles everywhere. I saw this coming before I loosened it, so I had cardboard and a second catch pan placed under the filter. Nope. I could hear it dribbling for several seconds before the oil spilled behind the wheel hub. The truck suspension will dribble oil for days. ...more cardboard.
If I knew what I was in for I'd have asked about a remote oil filter kit first, and had it ready.
So, has anyone out there installed one? If so which product? And where is the filter finally located?
Thanks,
Dave
