First oil change after break in

[Thomas White]

So just hit 1600 mi on new shelby raptor and decided to change the oil (amsoil, not trying to start an oil war use amsoil on all my vehicles) anyways what a pain in the but skid plate is in the way caused major mess and then there was the oil filter what were these design engineers thinking? this was by far the worst oil change on any vehicle I haver ever owned... I went ahead and added a fumoto ez drain plug to avoid this kind of mess on the next change... still haven't figured out an easier way on the filter that will still be a royal pain

For starters, take the whole skid plate off, not the little access one. Less mess!

yeah that's what I figured (beating dead horse) EZ drain plug is a work around to removing skid plate every oil change any ways still a great riding truck

I have removed my skid plate every oil change for the last 10 years, it doesn't really take that much time and effort, and you get to clean up the front frame and crossmember area while you're watching the oil drip.

This eliminates that issue

I have these on all my vehicles...money well spent

This is the version for the Raptor.

F107N no longer exists. Part number has changed to F137N to reflect a design change to improve flow rate.

How strong is the valve itself? Few months ago, I purchased Stahlbus valve and on my second oil change, the valve broke off and had threaded piece lodged in the oil plug hole. Luckily I was able to remove it. Stahlbus was made out of aluminum, I think, the shit wasn't strong enough, twisted for tight fit than broke....
