Fumoto / V-10

[ljr869]

Just completed a dreaded oil change on the Bounder. The Fumoto valve sure makes it easier and cleaner to drain. However, there is no way (or I haven't found it) to take that filter off without making a mess. 7 quarts of Motorcraft 5W-20 by the way.

That's pretty smart Dale. Going to do this the next oil change I do on ANY of my vehicles. Too bad I couldn't use this on the Harley....

Thanks,

Here's the technique I used with a Cummins that had an awkwardly placed filter:

Drain crankcase hot.
Let engine cool.
Loosen filter with wrench just enough to break loose.
Surround filter with 1 gal ziploc or garbage bag and unscrew until it drops in the bag.
