Okay, here are some pics of the oil change.

1st pic shows the plastic bag I used. I did spill some and that was my mistake for not using a bigger bag as I have in the past. I always have cardboard on the ground just in case. Next time I will try the tin oil in addition to the plastic bag to make a better seal.

2nd pic shows the oil filter under the wheel well with the rubber flap open

3rd pic shows the bag under the oil filter

4th & 5th pics show the ValvoMax drain valve. If I had to do it again I would buy the fumoto value, easier to use and less parts. You can see in the last pic oil dripping out so the valve might have issues.

I also use the larger Toyota oil filter (90915-YZZD3) so that makes it easier to remove since it has more surface area. Truck has mild lift and the lower plastic valance on the bumper has been removed so that also helps.

Thanks for posting the pics. What holds the bag in place under the filter? Bag stiffness?
