It was finally time to do my engine oil change after postponing it for a few weeks.
Step 1: 14mm socket to remove the drain plug.
Step 2: Make sure you have waste oil containment unit.
Step 3: Remove drain plug and let all oil drain out.
Step 4: Call Blackstone 2 weeks ago to get a couple of the oil sample containers.
Step 5: Collect some oil in the plastic container.
Step 6: Fill out paperwork and ship to Blackstone via USPS (if they bitch, tell then to shut up).
Pro tip- let engine warm up a little to get the oil to flow better. Not hot, just warm.
Step 7: New drain valve by Fumoto. I went with the F103S only because I wanted a shorter nipple.
Step 8: Admire your new drain plug/valve. See it open and close using the valve.
Step 9: Attach the spring clip onto the lever to keep it from accidentally popping open.
Step 10: screw in your replacement Fumoto drain plug/valve.
Step 11: wait for people to complain about how "low" it hangs.
Step 12: laugh and giggle because you've been hearing that your whole life and it never gets tired.
Step 13: Take photos to show your friends that although it hangs, because of your lift and everything else in the way, there is very little chance of damage.
Step 14: Giggle a little more.
Now go ahead and add in 7.2 US Quarts of your lube of choice. I of course went with Diesel Mobile 1 and continued using the Toyota small oil filters made in Japan that are now unobtainium. Close the oil cap and start her up. Let the truck warm up to operating temp and check for leaks. None? You kick ass!
