you should time yourself and try to best your last time next time you do it.

All you have to do is jack the frame about an inch or so to clear the axle with the oil pan.

Dealer price out is $266 to r/r. Yes Im lazy but not THAT lazy.

Im going to see if I can snake it with a coat hanger through the drain plug first as it is right above it. Might get lucky.

So what you're telling us, you aren't $266 lazy, but lazy enough you found out how much it would be for the dealer to do it? HA!

I won't be doing it again while an engine is in the vehicle unless I absolutely have to...much easier on an engine stand.

I am either at the dealer or talk to them every day...so I asked just out of curiosity.

The easy way to make FIPG a multi-use tube is to attach the spout extension, cut just the tip off, then stick a screw in the end. That way even if the stuff hardens in the tube, it won't be hard at the actual tube.
